PRINCIPLES, PRACTICES, AND OPPORTUNITIES
Special Issue of the Journal of Gerontology and Geriatrics Education

The Journal of Gerontology and Geriatrics Education is pleased to announce the publication of its special issue on "Age-Friendly Universities (AFU): Principles, Practices, and Opportunities." The special issue profiles a diverse range of institutions who have joined the AFU network of institutions endorsing the AFU principles.

The AFU initiative reflects the work of an international, interdisciplinary team of educators, researchers, and policy makers convened by Dublin City University (Ireland) who identified 10 principles institutions can use to evaluate and develop age-friendly programs and policies. The AFU principles reflect six pillars of institutional activity: teaching and learning, research and innovation, lifelong learning, intergenerational learning, encore careers and enterprise, and civic engagement.

The AFU principles advocate that older adults have access to educational, career, cultural, and wellness activities at institutions, and that institutions extend aging education to younger students and promote age-integration by bringing younger and older learners together in educational exchange. Age-friendly institutions support aging research by developing agendas informed by older adults' diverse needs, and look to develop partnerships beyond their campuses with the local aging community.

To date, over 48 institutions representing North America, Europe, and South East Asia have become partners in the AFU global network.

Authors describe how their institutions launched their AFU efforts and discuss how the AFU concept has inspired new opportunities. Recognizing that the AFU movement is in its early stages of development with inevitable challenges, authors share information about difficulties encountered and insights gained to address them.
