Population ageing has been a topic that has received much attention from different social players, namely politics and academia. This interest and concern is due to several factors, in particular the social and economic consequences involved. However, as far as public policies are concerned, the areas of intervention in some countries are confined to the health and social spheres. Without prejudice to the importance of these two areas in the life of the elderly, in particular for those with fragile health, weak support networks and low income, we should also take into consideration the role of education at this stage of life. ELOA emerges therefore as a discussion forum where a diverse range of issues regarding the knowledge on the education of the elderly and related experiences are shared. Within this framework, the second conference wishes to continue the work started in October 2010 in Munich.
