Material Detail

This is a write-up of an interview with Llorenc Valverde, former Technology Vice-Rector, Universitat Oberta de Catalunya (UOC), Spain. The interview was conducted by Javiera Atenas, Project Officer at SOAS, University of London, United Kingdom.

The Universitat Oberta de Catalunya (UOC) has had different lines of action towards open content. Initially there were two European research projects in which UOC researchers were involved. First the OLCOS project and another project related to open systems (free software).

Since 2005 the UOC began to work on the initiative of a master degree in Free Software. It was until 2006, with the nomination of Imma Tubella as chancellor and her team, that a more profound analysis took place to position the UOC as an open university. It was through this discussions that a new Open Virtual Campus emerged, where even the open software was developed by the university.
