The objective of this workshop is to engage in discourse and initiate a Global Remote Lab Initiative. The overarching vision of the new initiative is, in a broader sense, to provide support for the Sustainable Development Goal 4 (SDG) of the United Nations (UN). The objective is to provide inclusive, equitable, and quality education and lifelong learning opportunities for all people worldwide. In a narrow sense, the initiative aims to promote the development and use of remote laboratories for educational and training purposes as an essential tool for providing high-quality, practice-oriented education to any location in the world for all sections of the population without restrictions, at low cost or free of charge.
