To help support those conducting doctoral research and raise the profile of our members\u2019 work we host regular workshops which bring together researchers from around the world. Our workshop prior to OER24 will take place on Tuesday 26 March 2024, and we\u2019re delighted to be bringing together 12 members and alumni, from eight different countries. Our workshops focus on connecting and networking, as well as giving our members the opportunity to share their research in a safe and welcoming space. A total of 10 members and alumni are currently also (co-)presenting during the conference. <\/p>\n\n\n

GO-GN was delighted to kick-start our 10th<\/sup> anniversary celebrations at last year\u2019s OER conference at University of the Highlands and Islands (UHI), Scotland, where we brought together more than 15 GO-GN members and alumni. Our celebrations continued throughout the year, culminating in our largest workshop to date prior to Open Education Global 2023 in Edmonton, Canada. This two-day event brought together over 30 GO-GN\u2019ers from across 5 continents to connect, share and co-create together. You can read about our members experiences of last year\u2019s workshops and our activities over on our blog:<\/p>\n\n\n\n We are pleased to celebrate our ongoing collaboration with the OER conferences with you in Cork this year!\u00a0 Look out for our members with their penguin themed swag and stickers.\u00a0 You might even see the odd penguin… Talk to us and find out more about GO-GN and what we do.
