[ENOEL Workshop series] WS#12 Embrace the Open: Open Science & Open Education. Discuss with peers about interconnections and reciprocal benefits

Dear colleagues,

We are delighted to invite you to the twelfth event in our ENOEL Workshop series, organised by SPARC Europe and the European Network of Open Education Librarians (ENOEL), on 28 Oct 2025 at 1:00-2.30 p.m. 2025 CET. The workshop topic is “Open Science & Open Education. Discuss with peers about interconnections and reciprocal benefits”.

Our workshop facilitators are:

  • Mira Buist-Zhuk (TU Delft, Netherlands)

  • Claudia Hackl (University of Vienna, Austria)

  • Sylvia Moes (SURF, Netherlands).

What to Expect:

This interactive workshop explores the role of Open Education (OE) and its interconnections with Open Science (OS). Through voting, breakout discussions, and collaborative activities, participants will identify key priorities, share practices, and reflect on how OE can align with research assessment, funder requirements, and recognition and rewards, among other OS-relevant topics. The session highlights the reciprocal benefits of OS and OE while strengthening collaboration within the ENOEL community. Outcomes include concrete strategies, a shared draft agenda for 2026, and a follow-up moment to reflect on progress and barriers in connecting OS and OE agendas.

At the end of this workshop, you will be able to:

  • Understand how Open Education connects with research, recognition and rewards, funder requirements, and its interconnections with Open Science.

  • Identify priorities, challenges, and opportunities for advancing OE–OS within institutions and policy frameworks.

  • Generate practical strategies, best practices, and next steps that can be applied in local contexts.

  • Collaborate by strengthening connections within the ENOEL community and co-creating a shared draft agenda for 2026.

  • Discuss barriers as well as progress, using peer support to reflect on why some efforts succeed while others stall.
