Organizing Bodies
European Society for Research on the Education of Adults
The European Society for Research on the Education of Adults (ESREA) is the major European research organisation devoted to the study of adult and lifelong learning, as well as the education of adults. It brings together colleagues from diverse disciplinary backgrounds and countries.
The ESREA Life History and Biographical Research Network was established in the early 1990s and brings together diverse scholars from across Europe with a range of disciplinary backgrounds and diverse theoretical approaches in the use of biographical and/or life history methods in the study of adult and lifelong learning. The Network enables people to share their research and to learn from each other, whether they are experienced researchers or post-graduate students about to begin their studies. The Network has led to a number of collaborative research projects, some of which have been financed by the European Union.
