Logroño, La Rioja, Spain. January 20, 2022

The “Global study on Open Education and Open Science: Practices, use cases and potentials during the COVID-19 pandemic and beyond” receives the UNESCO OER Implementation Award for Excellence 2021, in the year they celebrate their 10th anniversary.

This award recognizes exemplary leadership (individual or organizational) and practices in support of the implementation of UNESCO’s Open Educational Resources (OER) Recommendation.

Daniel Burgos, one of the members of the research team, and director of the Research Institute for Innovation and Education in Technology (UNIR iTED) of the Universidad Internacional de La Rioja (UNIR), highlights the joint effort by 20 researchers and vocational Open Science and Open Education advocators from 5 continents, who work together on a very pressing and useful topic: How to face education in times of crisis, such as in COVID-19 times.

Although Open Education has a long history of successful implementation, the pandemic has made more it visible for the general public as a fast, effective and collaboration solution to address the urgent challenges that Education faces, worldwide, without and, specially, with a global threat floating around.
