The aims of the GO-GN are to:
raise the profile of research into open education,
offer support for those conducting PhD research in this area,
promote equity and inclusion in the field of open education research, and
develop openness as a process of research.
To meet these aims GO-GN:
Hosts an annual face-to-face workshop, bringing together researchers from around the world to share their work and further develop their practice. This event is usually aligned with an international open education conference such as OEGlobal or the UK OER conference.
