Welcome

SCUTREA is a lively and innovative professional network. It provides a focus and meeting place for institutions, departments and individuals engaged in the education and training of adults and/or in research in the broad field of continuing education.

SCUTREA was established forty years ago with the membership initially drawn from university adult education departments throughout the UK. Today, with the broad spread of continuing education activities, membership is open to all institutions and individuals with professional interests in the education of adults. As a result, the membership is now quite diverse and makes our annual conferences very interesting and lively events to be at.
