Abstract:	Compared to the movement of “open access” for academic publications, which is just a few years older than the OER movement [1, 2], the publication of OER still does not have a strong structural or financial support in the Swiss HEI landscape. However, the discussion on OER made a great leap after the COVID 19 pandemics. Today, many higher education institutions are creating OER policies, OER repositories are being built, and a network is evolving amongst the OER professionals of HEI in Switzerland. At ZHAW, the creation of OER and a change towards a culture of sharing, is strongly supported by the exchange in the ZHAW OER community. Here, structural needs and practical questions around OER are communicated in a closed environment. Another example of how the creation of OER can be supported, can be seen for example in Germany, where funding lines and policy documents as well as federal OER repositories were set up successfully during the last few years. After the presentation of good practice examples for the structural support for OER, I want to raise the question, if we need a Swiss OER community in HEI. Do we need a community or a panel, discussing the necessity of quality assurance measures of materials (like peer review) for teaching materials? – Do we need higher visibility and recognition of teaching activities in the career development at HEI through the publication of OER, or funding lines for third party funding for OER teaching projects at universities?
