The book represents several contributions that guide the readers in the comprehension of the paradigmatic shift from adult/lifelong education, to adult/lifelong learning. At the same time it presents the contexts where adults learn: the organized contexts, such as the institutions and services, and the informal contexts. The book is one of a series dedicated to adult learning and education developed under the auspices of ESRALE (European Studies and Research in Adult Learning and Education) an EU supported project. Its companion books are Maria Slowey (ed.) Comparative Adult Education and Learning.

Continuing education has become a large market with participation by industrial firms, educational institutions and firms in the business of education. Both education and industry should develop strategies for their involvement in continuing education. Both should commit to the concept of lifelong learning as essential for their success. Both should consider cooperative projects as one of the most cost-effective ways of providing continuing education. Both should improve communication with each other to improve our capability to identify appropriate joint projects and to improve our management of them.

The subject of the study are contemporary social functions of adult education included in the context of lifelong learning. I presented their determinants and consequences. These functions are significantly different from those set out by historical socio-economic and cultural circumstances.

A felnőttnevelési szakemberek szakmai fejlesztésének kérdésköre a 2000-es évek után nyert létjogosultságot Európa-szerte, amelyhez hozzájárult a Making a European Area of Lifelong Learning a Reality dokumentum megjelenése (European Commission, 2001). A tanulmány érzékelteti, hogy a felnőttnevelési szakemberképzés témaköre egyre nagyobb teret nyer a nemzetközi kutatási szférában, a nemzeti szakmai tanulmányok áttekintésének eredménye alapján arra következtet, hogy Magyarországon továbbra is csekély mértékben valósulnak meg elméleti és főként empirikus vizsgálatok a felnőttnevelési szakemberek professzionalizációjának kérdéskörében. The issue of professional development for adult education professionals gained legitimacy across Europe after the 2000s, helped by the publication of the document Making a European Area of Lifelong Learning a Reality (European Commission, 2001).The study shows that the topic of adult education professional training is gaining more and more ground in the international research sphere, with an overview of national professional studies.Based on the results of its work, it concludes that in Hungary, there is still a small amount of theoretical and mainly empirical research on the issue of professionalisation of adult education professionals.

It is worth reminding ourselves that the notion of museums and adult education bodies co-operating together is not unfamiliar. Indeed, the two major Adult Education Reports this century, the Adult Education Committee Final Report (1919) and Adult Education: a plan for development (1973), both considered the roles of museums and adult education providers. In the museums sector, the Report by Sir Henry Miers of 1928 and Sir Frank Markham's Report of 1938 also linked the two roles together, although in the case of the former Report the lack of co-operation between the two sectors was noted.
