Abstract
Each year, non-formal education (NFE) constantly involves more and more learners. NFE can be considered as one of the activity forms within university social responsibility (USR) programs. This form of education is strongly focused on the cooperation of the university with business partners, associations, and governmental institutions. Beneficiaries are not only students, but also people from business. NFE is not like formal education, which provides a diploma. Rather, NFE is oriented towards discussions, meetings, and exchanges of experiences. The goal of this chapter is to present models showing that NFE can be considered as research activity. The chapter includes proposals for application of design science research (DSR) as a paradigm for non-formal education realization processes. The processes are modelled in business process modelling notation (BPMN).
