International Adult and Continuing Education Hall of Fame
European Chapter (HOFE)
The International Adult and Continuing Education Hall of Fame honors outstanding leaders in the fields of adult learning and continuing education who are distinguished as a scholar, practitioner, or policy-maker.
The Hall serves as a record of inspiration for the next generation of adult and continuing education leaders.
To be eligible for induction into the Hall of Fame, a person must be eminently distinguished in the profession, shall have brought honor or distinction, and shall have contributed to the heritage of adult and continuing education.
Annually, around ten adult and continuing education leaders from around the world are selected for induction into the International Adult and Continuing Education Hall of Fame. These individuals reflect the great diversity of adult and continuing education practice and scholarship and the increasingly global leadership community that constitutes the IACE Hall of Fame.
On this page we supply additional information about and for members of the Hall of Fame specificly in the European region.
The 2024 International Adult and Continuing Education Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony
took place in Florence, Italy.

Members of the European Branch of the Internationational Hall of Fame of Adult and Continuing Education participated in the Dénes Koltai Memorial Conference on Adult Learning and Education on Friday, 11 October 2024 in Pécs, Hungary.
In their plenary speeches Éva Farkas focused on matters of how to improve ALE with specific tools, Heribert Hinzen was signalling the roles of professionalisation and institutionalisation on ALE, András Benedek provided a retrospective focus on the legacy of Dénes Koltai in promoting and developing ALE with academic focuses. András also recalled CONFINTEA V and VI how they influence some Hungarians having been involved in quality development and partnerships with bodies as EAEA, eucen and PASCAL Int. Observatory.
