Open Education Europa is the gateway to European innovative learning.

In 2000, the European Commission adopted an action plan to address the teaching and study needs of those in adult education and alternative education streams, as well as the institutions and organizations delivering these services. The value of adult learning to employability and mobility is recognized across the European Union. This plan was called the Grundtvig program, and it provided important practical support for the implementation of adult learning policies.

In 2007 the European Commission, under the Grundtvig Program, created a database of relevant institutions, policy-making bodies and others involved in lifelong learning and adult education that develop innovative adult education and management practices. The Grundtvig Program program was finalized in 2014. It was replaced by other initiatives of the European Council like the Open Education Europa portal for innovative learning and EPALE - ePlatform for Adult Learning in Europe

The European Commission launched Open Education Europa in September 2013 as part of the Opening up Education initiative to provide a single gateway to European Open Education Resources. The main goal of the Open Education Europa portal is to offer access to all existing European Open Educational Resources in different languages in order to be able to present them to learners, teachers and researchers.

Open Education Europa is a dynamic platform built with the latest cutting-edge open-source technology, offering tools for communicating, sharing and discussing. The portal showed leading European institutions.

Today, the European Qualifications Framework (EQF) provide efficient tools for the validation of adult and professional training, distance learning and other forms of non formal education. The European Higher Education Area considered unnecessary to keep initiatives like the Grundtvig Program or the Open Education Europa.
