EOSC Steering Board representatives

Open Science is an integral part of the Finnish research community, which has created a joint Declaration for Open Science and Research to promote a common direction for the development of the research community. Through extensive preparations, the Finnish Research Infrastructure Committee has published the Strategy for National Research Infrastructures in Finland 2020–2030. It is aimed particularly at promoting the development of national nodes for national and international research infrastructures.

A significant number of Finnish researchers and organisations already participate in the development of EOSC through various Research Infrastructures and EOSC-related EU projects, or are engaged in EOSC via coordinated national activities.

EOSC Finnish Forum (EOSC-FF)

The EOSC-FF was established by the Ministry of Education and Culture, the Research Council of Finland, the Federation of Finnish Learned Societies and CSC – IT Center for Science in 2021 as a branch of the EOSC National Open Science Coordination. The EOSC-FF is the EOSC national structure aiming to ensure all national stakeholders in Finland are informed and engaged in EOSC’s development. The forum is open to all different types of stakeholders, including the private sector.

You can contact the EOSC-FF Office at eosc-ff-support@postit.csc.fi.
