National guidelines

On behalf of the Swedish government, the National Library of Sweden (Kungliga biblioteket, KB) has recently developed national guidelines for open science, including a section on Open Educational Resources (OER).

The national guidelines are intended to provide support and guidance to actors in Sweden who have an important role to play in the transition to open science. In conjunction with this work and guidelines, the Association of Swedish Higher Education Institutions (SUHF) has updated their roadmap for Open Science and includes now also a section on OER. The roadmap is directed towards the executive management roles at Swedish Higher Education Institutions and includes detailed guidance as well as clear goals to achieve until 2026.
