The vision and overall objective is the launch of a global joint initiative to re-establish openness as default as in the 60ies years of the 20th century: ICORE, the International Community for Open Research and Education (www.ICORE-online.org), invites all interested citizens and organizations worldwide sharing this visions to join forces.
As a further step, ICORE facilitate an interactive Workshop at OE Global 2016 in Poland to continue the first ICORE Workshop at ICDE Global Conference 2015 in South Africa and to debate Open Research and Open Education and their potential and impact in the societies worldwide with special focus on re-establishing openness as default. This Action Lab at OE Global 2016 will focus the guiding question: “How to re-establish Openness as default?” as it was the case until the 60ies years of the 20th century. Currently the new copyright rules and regulations are hindering the free and open usage of published resources. Researchers, authors and publishers are not aware how to solve it and most educators are struggling with the legal restrictions and potential fees in offending copyright.
Main goal of the interactive ICORE workshop at OE Global 2016 in Poland will be the development of a declaration draft and related first activities: All workshop participants will work commonly and actively on this declaration draft that hopefully be achieved and approved in consensus by all. We hope that many interested participants and organizations will join the this workshop to contribute and enrich our discussion for debating connections of open research and open education as well as for improving the declaration draft and for defining first activities to achieve the overall vision of Open Lifelong Learning and the re-establishment of openness as default!
