In the Support for Lifelong Learning (SuLLe) research group, we produce new knowledge on how to support learning, participation, and well-being at different stages of the life course. Our research approach is multidisciplinary, with a particular emphasis on special education. The research is carried out using multi‑method approaches, drawing especially on qualitative and participatory methods.

Our research themes include, among others:

Supporting the inclusion and interaction of autistic individuals in comprehensive education and working life

Support for learning and well‑being in general upper secondary education, vocational education and training, and higher education

Supporting the digital skills learning of adults with intellectual disabilities and older adults
