Dr. Dieter Dohmen, Director of FiBS Research Institute for the Economics of Education and Social Affairs, has been admitted to the International Adult and Continuing Education Hall of Fame (IACE Hall of Fame).
The International Adult and Continuing Education Hall of Fame (IACE Hall of Fame) honors leaders in continuing education and adult education and serves an inspiration for the next generation. Seventeen adult and continuing education educators were recently recognized with induction into the IACE Hall of Fame. Dr. Dieter Dohmen, Director of the FiBS Research Institute for the Economics of Education and Social Affairs was also honoured with this award.
The International Adult and Continuing Education Hall of Fame has been housed at the University of Oklahoma since 1996. The induction for the class of 2019 was held September 19, 2019 at the National Museum in Belgrade, Serbia.
Dieter Dohmen, Director of FiBS Research Institute for the Economics of Education and Social Affairs, has been working in all sectors of lifelong learning, from early to adult learning with its intersections to innovation, the labor market, demography, and social aspects. As one of the few researchers to address the difficult issue of financing for adult education, he has been part of several German, European as well as world-wide projects to research this often-neglected issue. His comparative work related to the costs of education for adult learners in countries throughout Europe led to new insights regarding the different financial resources available to adult students. Dieter Dohmen can also boast an extensive repertoire of research work in the field of continuing education, innovation and growth in the education sector.
Election to the Hall of Fame acknowledges that these men and women have made distinguished contributions to the field of adult and continuing education. Each has provided a crucial nexus between resources and learners. These innovative leaders have believed passionately in the evolutionary power of education. All are themselves exemplary lifelong learners and have left lasting impressions on the students, institutions, and organizations they have served. The official home for the International Adult and Continuing Education Hall of Fame is the University of Oklahoma's Oklahoma Center for Continuing Education (OCCE).
The Hall of Fame is a nonprofit organization whose purpose is to honor individuals worldwide who have made distinguished contributions to the field of adult and continuing education and to serve as a record and inspiration for the next generation of continuing education leaders. It preserves the significant legacies of these individuals in a permanent exhibit of plaques on the University of Oklahoma campus. This year marks the 24th anniversary of the Hall of Fame.
