Biographical History
The International Congress of University Adult Education (ICUAE) was formed in 1960,
immediately following the Unesco World Conference on Adult Education in Montreal,
Canada. Thirty-five adult educators from 14 countries met at the Sagamore Conference
Center of Syracuse University to exchange information and opinions about their activities
in adult education, and to discuss ways of advancing adult education on a broad front.
The Congress acts as an agency of communication and liaison, and a clearinghouse of
information and ideas at the international level. The Congress received support in
its early years from the Center for the Study of Liberal Education for Adults which
provided Alexander Albert Liveright as secretariat. The Congress has sponsored world
and regional international meetings of university adult educators, promoted the study
of comparative adult education, and published a journal and occasional papers.
