the quality of life. It is aligned with the goals of an innovative, sustainable and
socially responsible university. The strategic goal of the University of Maribor
is the establishment of a system of lifelong learning that will be open, flexi-
ble, and adapted to individual learning goals, individual needs and interests
by providing shorter forms of education with the aim of sustainable develop-
ment of society. The active involvement of retired university teachers, both in
research and development projects and in pedagogical work, means added
value. Different intergenerational views are crucial for the development of a
humane, democratic society, which must be the basic mission of academic in-
stitutions in ensuring sustainable development. The centre achieves its goals
of making the University of Maribor an age-friendly university institutionally
at the academic level and generationally in collaboration with students.
