ENCORE+ – European Network for Catalysing Open Resources in Education

The European Network for Catalysing Open Resources in Education (ENCORE+) responds to the European priorities of opening up and modernising education and training through the creation of a network that supports innovation and entrepreneurship with OER.

Within the three-year project, the Baden-Württemberg Cooperative State University, represented by the Next Education working group, is collaborating with 9 European project partner organisations from science and industry to develop a European OER innovation area by connecting stakeholder communities and fostering knowledge exchange. ENCORE+ realises a new vision for collaboration and connection between OER repositories in a European OER Ecosystem, encouraging entrepreneurship and empowerment through OER. ENCORE+ fosters the uptake of OER in Europe by stimulating the integration of organisational strategies for OER in business & academia.

The following results will be developed:

  • A validated, shared vision and roadmap for OER in Europe
  • Creation and pilot the ENCORE+ OER Quality Framework
  • An European OER Strategy Guidelines for higher education & businesses
  • A well connected European OER Ecosystem of technologies & communities
