Required for financial sustainability• Interwoven with marketing & communication
activities (cost reductions elsewhere)• Contribution to ‘the right student at the right
place’ (less drop-outs); better preparation of new students
• External recognition in terms of sponsorships or other types of support from external partners

4. Statements for further discussions during the
workshop
OCW Seminar TU Delft 20
Next steps Netherlands: Some statements for further debate during the workshop1) OCW should be higher on the agenda’s of the Ministry of
Education & Surf foundation 2) A lot of material is available but very difficult to access for
a broader audience. National promotion and infrastructure is necessary
3) OCW can be very relevant for Life Long Learners 4) Research around OCW/OER in the Netherlands should be
strongly supported5) Close cooperation between institutes will support the
reuse of materials and facilitate joint education.
