    Chapter XXXIX Focus on Open Science: Budapest

    Presentation: Open Science Development in Finland: An Illustration of Open Science in Practice

    Open Science is being implemented in many countries in Europe. Research is global and also the development of policies, infrastructures, sharing of best practices etc. must happen in international collaboration. Each nation also has the responsibility to foster and implement Open Science.
    Finland aims to be a leading country in Open Science. The development of the basic building blocks was started already in 2010 in a national initiative. In 2018 the responsibility of national coordination of Open Science was given to the Federation of Learned Societies in accordance with the recommendations of the Open Science Policy Platform. The National Library of Finland (NLF) has an active role in implementing several Open Science services.
    The presentation will discuss European and national level policies and give some practical examples of implementing OS principles.
