This working in progress aims to clarify what the ageing academy means, what practical contributions can be drawn from existing studies on the subject, with a view to mapping the main effects that academics identify due to ageing, especially in engineering. By presenting the existing studies on the ageing academy, and the effects and measures to address this issue, it can be assumed that tackling the problem of the ageing academy is a complex endeavour that requires policy and institutional measures sensible to a diversity of variables that represent the productivity of academics and researchers, as well as the sustainability of Higher Education Institutions (HEIs).
