Open Science and Research Initiative  Ministry of Education and Culture initiative for the promotion of information availability and open science  Goal to make Finland a leading country in openness of science and research  Scope of the initiative includes publications, research data, and methods  Provides researchers with practical knowledge in how they as individuals can implement open science  Several services offered by the Ministry to researchers

Benefits of open science  Gaining funding in accordance to funder’s rules and suggestions  The Academy of Finland encourages researchers to publish open access and make their data available, funding may be applied for this  EU Horizon2020 has open access as underlying principle, including open access publishing and a pilot for open research data  Merit through citations to open access publications and open data  Curriculum vitae (e.g. TENK) gather merits related to open data  Data repositories and OA publications can gather more citations  Increased interaction and new possibilities for collaboration

Why manage research data? Researchers and research groups can  Reduce the risk that data is lost or misused  Organize data for your own reuse and citation  Get private or shared access to data within your research group  Facilitate joint use of resources with collaborators at other universities  Enable service continuity regardless of possible changes in your affiliation  Document your activities in data collection and dissemination  Receive a permanent identifier for your data  Increase the visibility of your research profile and make new connections  Gain merit through citation and re-use of data

Why manage research data? Researcher organizations can:  Take up a ready service portfolio in your organization  Enhance the visibility and discoverability of research in your organization  Reduce risks in storing data and maintaining access to it  Increase compliance with funder requirements related to open science  Benefit from centralized system administration and support structure  Avoid cost as services are funded by the Ministry of Education and Culture  Demonstrate commitment to being a university of influence  Inform the development of national research support infrastructures
