Projects awarded by Open Education Stimulation Fund 2022

In October 2022, the Open Science Programme launched the Open Education Stimulation Fund to enable TU Delft lecturers to innovate their courses with open education. Staff across all faculties were encouraged to submit a proposal for Open Education-related projects for funding up to EUR 20,000 and with a maximum project term of 1 year.

The Open Science Programme was pleasantly surprised by the number of proposals submitted. A total of 11 projects were awarded grants, varying from a ‘Coastal Dynamics Open Codebook’ to ‘Decolonising Data Science Education’ and a ‘Quiz generator for interactive MOOC’. A kick-off session was held on 27 January. The project groups agreed to meet several times in the coming year to share their experiences and learnings and to develop themselves through workshops that will be customised to suit their needs. 

As there is a clear need for the funding of Open Education projects within faculties, which aligns with the implementation of TU Delft’s Open Educational Resources (OER) policy, efforts have already been made to ensure that there is funding for new projects in the future.
