Meetings

XV STATE MEETING OF UNIVERSITY PROGRAMMES FOR OLDER ADULTS is going to be held in Santiago de Compostela on the days 12, 13 and 14 of June 2017.

Under the motto ``UNIVERSITY PROGRAMMES FOR OLDER ADULTS AS STRATEGIC ELEMENT ON THE LIFELONG EDUCATION´´, the XV AEPUM meeting will address three different fundamental thematic lines of work: a) Permanent education on the university field; b) internationalization and participation; and c) the social responsibility of the university programmes for older adults. We wish these research and work lines stimulate the interest on the production of fruitful contributions to the XV meeting through the presentation of communications and posters.

SECOND CIRCULAR OF THE XIV AEPUM MEETING AT THE UNIVERSITY OF GRANADA

University of Granada, 27^th, 28^th and 29^th of May of 2015

“New students’ profiles in the Classrooms for Seniors. Reflections around their perceptions and expectations about the University Programmes for Seniors in Spain”

The participants’ scientific contributions can be presented either orally or on poster. Additionally, the participants must indicate the Thematic Thread for discussion that they may consider the most adequate for the location of their work. Nevertheless, the definite decision, regarding the location and the medium for communication as well, will ultimately correspond to the Organizing Committee and the Scientific Committee.

The chosen Thematic Threads (TT) shaping the XIV Meeting will be the following:

• TT1: “WHAT MUST BE KEPT, AS IT HAS WORKED CORRECTLY, OF THE ACADEMIC OFFER AND THE STRUCTURE OF THE UNIVERSITY PROGRAMMES FOR SENIORS ELABORATED AT THE BEGINNING?”
• TT2: “HOW DO OUR STUDENTS PERCEIVE THE CURRENT OFFER OF UNIVERSITY PROGRAMMES FOR SENIORS?”
• TT3: “WHAT NEW DEMANDS RELATED TO EDUCATION, RESEARCH AND SERVICE TO THE SOCIETY OF SENIOR STUDENTS ARE NOT YET INCORPORATED IN A GENERALIZED MANNER IN OUR TRAINING OFFER?”

Essays and analyses from researchers in the aforementioned fields and areas will have a place as long as they can contribute with research work, results and relevant proposals.

Here you can find all the information regarding: Enrolment, Preliminary programme, specifications for the presentation of the works, deadlines, places of development and more.

The XIII National Older Adult University Programmes Meeting will be held in Valencia between June 19th and 21st 2013, under the title of “New times, new challenges for Older Adult University Programmes”.

The XIII Meeting will be hosted by the Universitat de València which, together with AEPUM, as the institutions in charge of organising the Meeting, invite teachers, researchers, experts, institutional and teaching authorities to take part in it, to contribute with their works about the educational and social policies that affect seniors’ training, as well as to present analyses and research studies in the knowledge fields and areas of Education Sciences, Gerontology, Ageing Sociology and other disciplines belonging to the framework of Social Sciences, Humanities, Health and New Technologies that can provide new original results and proposals relevant to the Meeting themes.
