This course was held to review research and investigations undertaken in Europe, their significance for the practice of adult education, and the possibility of cooperative action in the future. Delegates reached conclusions calling for the general review of European adult education, bibliographic services, general and joint research, cooperation, and information dissemination. The Council of Europe was requested to act on the recommendations if they are within its own competence; to recommend action by governments of member states where this is needed; and to bring the recommendations to the attention of responsible parties in each country. (This bilingual report includes brief recommendations by and for Scandinavian countries; and a report by a Swiss delegate, on adult education concepts, trends, and accomplishments.) (ly)
