The purpose of our investigation was to understand how open licensed approaches are used within the
Colleges of the University of London that contribute to the University of London International Programmes and
explore any policies that are being applied. The objective was to acquire an understanding of the
current situation; in addition, the intention was to share and discuss the results and recommendations at the
follow-up workshop that took place two months after the dissemination of the survey and our data collection.
This was a necessary component of our methodological approach, as we hoped that this would also lead to
some interesting recommendations on how the International Programmes and the sector could benefit from
and engage with the Open Access movement
