In our journey towards fostering a more open and equitable Europe, SPARC Europe is embarking on a mission to intertwine the realms of OS and OE to support and build more equitable access to Open knowledge across scores of universities across Europe. We are keen to share the first step in this process. This presentation will allow us to discuss how to lead this change, leveraging strategic planning and capacity building to bridge existing divides and unlock synergies between these two crucial domains. We will do this by mapping stakeholders, documenting similarities and differences between the Opens at universities across Europe to also craft a compelling narrative and business case, and action plan, for a more connected open agenda in the area of Higher Education. We are laying the groundwork for a more integrated future, looking at how we can link bottom-up and top-down initiatives and action in a strategic and operational way.
