The concept of the SCOP meeting is a one and a half day meeting for invited policy-level decision makers from ICDE member institutions and co-operating organizations. It provides a unique opportunity for Rectors, Presidents, and Chief Executive Officers of open and distance teaching universities from different parts of the world to meet to exchange information, share expertise, establish benchmarks, develop new cooperative projects, and determine advocacy directions. The meetings are entirely confidential, in camera meetings limited to institutional executive leaders.

The theme for this year's SCOP meeting is to be “Quality in the context of the financial crisis”.
