Mokymosi visą gyvenimą laboratorija / Lifelong Learning Laboratory

The key concepts: University’s third mission and lifelong learning are widely studied since their introduction in EU policy documents (European Parliament, 2000). The investigations have reached quantity that extensive systematic literature reviews were done on University’s third mission (for ex., Compagnucci, Spigarelli, 2020; Haj Taieb, 2024), lifelong learning (for ex., Kaplan, 2016; Thwe, Kálmán, 2024; Håkansson Lindqvist et al., 2024), lifelong learning also is researched in connection with older adults needs (Baumgartner, Jin & Kim, 2023). However, there is a lack of attention to the combination of all three concepts: University’s third mission, lifelong learning and older adults. Therefore, the scoping review was conducted using PRISMA for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR) (https://www.prisma-statement.org/scoping; Tricco et al., 2018) in combination with the methodology of Peters et al. (2022).
