Abstract

The digital archive in Global Education and Learning (GEL Database) was established following several years of work on the development of the Global Education Digest, a systematic bibliography of Global Education research. Over time, the Digest has expanded to incorporate research in an increasing number of languages, with the 2022 edition including 10 languages: English, Dutch, Finnish, French, German, Italian, Polish, Portuguese, Slovakian, and Spanish. The project involved close collaboration between the UNESCO Chair's in GCED working group, the Digest contributors and the University Library System of the University of Bologna. The research platform provides visibility and recognition to the global education community and it consists of a unique wealth of open access resources available not only to scholars and researchers around the world, but also for policy makers and practitioners, as the presence of languages other than English and grey Literature constitute important elements than broader the GE community.
