SPARC Europe, a Dutch foundation committed to delivering on the promise of open access, announced a new Open Education strategy for 2024-2026, Librarians as Agents of Change. The aim is to make the many connections between Open Science policy and Open Education ever clearer to both policymakers and academic institutions.
The strategy’s key five goals going forward are to Support Open Education (OE) policy development and encourage investment in OE; Raise awareness of the value of OE, Open Educational Resources (OER) and Open Educational Practices (OEP) and stimulate action; Advocate for the recognition and reward of OE; Build capacity and upskill librarians to become even more effective in supporting OE; and Facilitate diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI)-rich OEP across all corners of Europe.
The strategy was developed through a process of close, sustained collaboration with members of the European Network of Open Education Librarians.
