ing Life-long learning in Europe
Life-long learning refers to persons aged 25 to 64 who stated that they received education or training in the four weeks preceding the survey (numerator). The denominator consists of the total population of the same age group, excluding those who did not answer to the question 'participation to education and training'. Both the numerator and the denominator come from the EU Labour Force Survey. The information collected relates to all education or training whether or not
relevant to the respondent's current or possible future job.

ing Conclusions
• UTAs are developing interesting activities for seniors which are not directly supported by state (no development projects in Slovakia)
• UTAs are the only bodies fully devoted only to provision of interest education for seniors in Slovakia
• It is a good will of the management of the university if it supports UTA, while fees are quite symbolic (app 25 EUR per year)
• UTAs are trying to establish different ways of financing (also from 2% of personal taxes which may be allocated by each taxpayer to any NGO) but while the voluntary, charity and sponsorship is traditionally week here, proposal by Association of Universities of the Third Age to include UTA into educational system within lifelong learning at universities was prepared
