CIUUMM 2011 joins previous activities in order to stress, at the beginning of the 21st century, the need to go into depth within the analysis of specific teaching for older adults at universities, understanding this as a continuous and lifelong training, which is necessary for responding to the challenge of an ageing population, and for strengthening a society open to for all ages, able to reduce poverty and to promote the inclusion of marginalized groups, social participation and an active citizenship.
The congress will incorporate diverse perspectives of universities and institutions responsible for educational and social policies which affect older adults’ training, as well as works and analyses of researchers within the fields and knowledge areas of Education, Gerontology, Sociology of Ageing and other subjects within Social Science, Humanities, Health, and New Technologies, who can contribute with research, results and relevant proposals for the subject matter of the congress. Other aspects to highlight about the event are its interdisciplinarity and transnationality with the multilateral component which goes along with it.
The congress is structured in five conferences and three panels with plenary character for the joint participation of the audience.
Moreover, within the frame of three of the plenary conferences and one of the panels of experts, there will be invited conference papers, which will be presented simultaneously by the researchers in different rooms. After each paper and presentation of a specific topic, there will be simultaneous other presentations and papers selected for their exhibition in the congress.
