SIG OER Session – eduhub days

The SIG OER brings together individuals engaged in the conceptual and practical aspects of creating, sharing and reusing Open Educational Resources. It promotes a culture of open practice across Swiss higher education institutions, including licensing, repositories and co-developing guidance for educators. This session follows the eduhub days* event, the annual conference dedicated to e-learning, teaching, technology, and didactics of Swiss Higher Education Institutions, taking place this year on November 5 & 6, 2026, at HE-Arc in Neuchâtel. 

*Please note that this session is offered free of charge to members of the SIG OER, and we'd be delighted to welcome you as a member. If you would also like to take part in the rest of the eduhub days programme, please note that a ticket is still required to attend the eduhub days event.

If you have any questions about the organization of the day, feel free to contact us directly by email eduhub@switch.ch
