Introduction to SCUTREA

SCUTREA
SCUTREA was established in 1971 as a network of adult educators involved in researching and teaching adults. Initially members were drawn from university adult education departments throughout the United Kingdom. Today, with the broad spread of lifelong learning activities and international interest in adult education the membership is diverse which makes our annual international conferences very interesting and lively events. We have regular and close contact with colleagues from Australia, Canada and the US, and individual members provide strong links with the European Studies for Research in Adult Education.

Conference
SCUTREA holds a three day conference each year, usually in early July, the proceedings of which are refereed and published. Students and participants interested in research but not research active are also welcome. For details of past and current conferences click the Conferences tab. If you are interested in organising seminars and other events with SCUTREA please let our Chair know.

Awards
We make a number of awards for the best student paper, and papers focusing on social justice, international or comparative issues. We also have an award for small scale research. For further details click the Awards tab.
