Institutional Members
Recognised education, research, public-interest or professional institutions aligned with the Network’s mandate.
Belong to a community of responsible practice
Membership built around contribution and trust.
GOE Network membership creates structured participation for institutions, professionals and communities committed to credible, inclusive and quality-oriented open education.
Membership is a relationship with the Network—not accreditation, regulatory approval, academic recognition or authority to operate a GOE Centre.
Categories, admission criteria and member rights will be governed by approved membership instruments.
A community of contribution
Membership connects people around responsible practice.
Members participate in knowledge exchange, professional learning and appropriate collaboration while respecting the Network’s governance and accreditation boundaries.
Membership categories
The founding membership model accommodates different forms of legitimate participation without blurring institutional roles or accreditation status.
Affiliate Members
Organisations supporting relevant access, technology, development, community or knowledge objectives.
Professional Members
Qualified individuals contributing expertise in education, policy, quality, technology, inclusion or implementation.
Community Members
Learners, advocates and local contributors participating in awareness, feedback and community learning activities.
Member value
Membership should create purposeful access to collaboration and learning rather than function as a passive badge.
Knowledge exchange
Access selected forums, briefings, communities of practice and implementation learning.
Collaboration pathways
Explore appropriate programme, research, policy and capacity-building opportunities.
Professional development
Participate in relevant clinics, learning activities and technical discussions.
Network participation
Contribute evidence, experience and responsible perspectives to the emerging global community.
Eligibility and responsibilities
Members must demonstrate alignment, lawful standing where applicable, truthful representation and continuing adherence to approved conduct and brand rules.
Act with integrity
Use accurate claims, disclose conflicts and avoid misleading representations of status or authority.
Protect learners
Respect privacy, safeguarding, accessibility, non-discrimination and complaints obligations.
Respect boundaries
Do not imply accreditation, endorsement, credential authority or regulatory standing through membership.
Status distinction: an institutional member is not automatically an accredited GOE Centre, approved programme provider or authorised credential-awarding institution.
