 Open Educational Resources are central for the development of inclusive knowledge societies and to help achieve the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, especially to reach SDG4, SDG5, SDG9, SDG10, SDG16 and SDG17. To support universal access to information and knowledge and to transform economies and societies, it is important to innovate. To foster innovation, one of the major challenges is to create the conditions for access to and use of quality knowledge. Because Open Educational Resources are free to access reuse, repurpose, adapt and to redistribute, they can reduce the cost for development of educational materials, be adapted easily to different learning contexts and help to develop gender-sensitive materials and alternative and accessible formats for learners with special needs. Governmental and institutional investments can be enhanced for socio-economic growth by accessing a variety of innovative pedagogical options.
