CRiEDO researchers David Rodríguez-Gómez and Diego Castro-Ceacero have published the article “Intergenerational relationships in higher education: promoting age-inclusive institutions”, a significant contribution to understanding how to foster higher education institutions that are more inclusive of generational diversity.
