Aware of this reality, RUTIS, the Network of Senior Universities has sought to promote active aging and its enhancement, with Portuguese Senior Universities aiming to regularly create and boost social, cultural and educational activities. The challenges resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic led to the creation of the Virtual Senior University (USV) by RUTIS allowing seniors to continue their learning at a distance and to share their knowledge. To evaluate the participation and experience of USV students in the activities carried out during the first period of confinement. Quantitative, cross-sectional and correlational study involving 100 USV students, using a demographic questionnaire and the QOSUSV scale. The scale has a good internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha coefficient = 0.806); there is a positive (rho = 0.596) and statistically significant (p <0.01) correlation between satisfaction with USV and the continued participation of its students for the academic year 2020/21. The USV offer is inclusive, transversal and covers the whole country. USV has proven to be a contribution to sustainability in education, particularly in times of confinement and emergency. ; info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion
