| Summary: | <p>Life-long education programs are rather new in Romania, and there is a lot of confusion about their structure, meaning, purposes and usefulness. Even if there is a clear necessity for these kind of programs, they were implemented in our country only after recommendations made by the European institutions. Babes-Bolyai University is one of the first and the few that actually develops life-long education programs, directed as public services for the use of the local community. In this paper we study a particular case, the Program of Continuous Learning . Defense and Security Studies, designed to be a help for the 4th Territorial Army Corps based in Cluj-Napoca in its efforts to meet NATO standards. The program offers courses meant to train military personnel in fields like strategic management, decision making processes, human resources management, and, of course, European security, and represents the first project of cooperation between University and Army in Romania.
