Abstract: The finale Conference for EduSenNet project of the Educational Senior Network took place from 8 to 10 June 2017 in Chemnitz (Germany) in combination with the annual meeting of the European Federation of Older Students (EFOS).
The EduSenNet project seeks to identify both the specific needs of older learners aged above 50 and the conditions under which they learn. The project examines the extent of possible innovations, how they might be undertaken and for which target groups.
