This conference brings together the SCUTREA Annual and CRLL Biennial Conferences to provide a forum for the international lifelong learning and adult education communities to debate and discuss the theme of Mobilities and Transitions: Learning, Institutions, Global and Social Movements.  The conference will take place at the campus of Glasgow Caledonian University in the heart of the city of Glasgow.

Conference Theme

The joint CRLL-SCUTREA Conference provides a platform for researchers and professionals engaged in Lifelong Learning and the Education of Adults to address key areas of international concern.  The conference aims to promote discussion and international networking opportunities across a broad field of interdisciplinary study. It will also include keynote presentations by distinguished international speakers. The Conference theme – Mobilities and Transitions – expresses the need to explore and understand the implications of change, turbulence and fluidity that characterises the field of post-compulsory education in different global contexts.
