Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands (TU Delft) started an Open Educational Resource (OER) that includes courses on clean water technology for developing countries. These resources have been updated by universities in South Africa, Singapore, the Antilles and Indonesia to include information on water-treatment processes from their regions, making a collaborative resource on drinking-water engineering available online to anyone who wishes to learn more.

European Universities’ Charter on Lifelong Learning called on universities to make ten clear commitments to lifelong learning and recommended concerted action from governments in providing the appropriate legal and financial frameworks to promote lifelong learning widely.
