Abstract

Due to their soft and hard skills, retirees in any field of study, including the arts, humanities, social, natural and biomedical sciences, mathematics and engineering, carry a wealth of experience, both personal and professional, could continue to be of benefit to students and early career researchers, even after they have retired. Their educational background and experience could enrich the education knowledge stream if their input, expertise and skills could be tapped after retirement, provided that they are physically and/or mentally healthy, able to communicate their ideas in a clear, lucid, and constructive way, and have accompanied support. Perspectives are offered about how retirees could benefit the research and education knowledge stream across disciplines in schools and institutes of higher education, such as universities.
