. Commissioned by the Ministry of Education, Culture and Science (OCW), Dialogic conducted a study on the dependencies of big tech in the OCW sectors such as secondary vocational education, higher education, science, cultural and creative sectors (CCS), media, and heritage.

The main question of the study is: What do the dependencies of the OCW sectors on big tech services look like, and what risks and opportunities does this entail?

This main question is complemented by three sub-questions:

  • How is big tech used within the various sectors, and where are dependencies visible?
  • What opportunities do big tech products offer the OCW sectors?
  • What risks arise from the use of big tech products?
