ABSTRACT: Open universities are currently in a phase of active transformation, integrating into society through education, research, service, and other avenues to strengthen their social service functions and enhance social participation. Faced with challenges in the transformation of social service connotations and functions, as well as difficulties in quantifying social benefits, open universities need to adhere to social orientation, strengthen partnerships, emphasize practicality and community integration, and construct a comprehensive evaluation index system to fully leverage their significant role in social innovation and development.
