We hope participants in OEweek events come here to share any details, useful info from sessions attended. This morning I was fortunate to be part of the [ENCORE+ Network Event on OER Innovation](https://oeweek.oeglobal.org/events/2023/encore-network-event-on-oer-innovation/) hosted by @RobertFarrow

This was a presentation of the results of 2 years of surveys on the aspects of what is considered innovation in OER, part of this being the results of the responses to [a survey Rob shared here in October](https://connect.oeglobal.org/t/encore-survey-on-oer-innovation/4259) (I responded to the survey to support the effort).

As usual Rob provided a rich background on Innovation theory and practice, and he makes great strides for describing an almost undefinable concept like “Innovation” and sharing data in unique ways:

And it was rewarding to see that [Frontiers for Young Minds](https://kids.frontiersin.org/) shared as a case study (connecting to [a digital postcard from @LauraHenderson sharing news](https://connect.oeglobal.org/t/remix-the-postcard-again-around-the-open-education-world-in-5-days/4675/3) that Frontiers for Young Minds will be available soon in Mandarin!)

The slides and recording [will likely be available soon from ENCORE+](https://encoreproject.eu/event/innovation-and-business-models-spring-23/)

Thanks Alan! It was great to have you with us.

A copy of the slides used today can be found at [Sharing innovation practices around OER: theory, practice, examples a…](https://www.slideshare.net/robertfarrow/sharing-innovation-practices-around-oer-theory-practice-examples-and-debates). I’m sure the recording will also be available soon through the ENCORE+ website.

We’re encouraging thoughts around what should be part of a framework for evaluating OER innovation and/or business models - please feel free to share them here or send them my way directly.

I hope that the evaluation framework will prove to be an interesting way to reflect on innovation, strategic direction and sustainability in OER implementation!
