Providers of research funding will provide positive consideration to open educational resources drawn up on the basis of research results in funding decisions. +
Universities and other organisations developing open education are seeking for methods with the Library of Open Educational Resources by which open educational resources stored in their own repositories will also be stored in the Library of Open Educational Resources. +
By 2021, Open Science Coordination will develop a prize, which will be distributed annually to a person or group for outstanding merits in developing open education and educational resources. +
By 2023, Open Science Coordination will study the funding mechanisms for the development of open educational resources by also investigating international examples for comparison. +
By 2023, universities and key funders, with the assistance of UNIFI and ARENE, will agree on how to share the costs of promoting open access to educational resources and, in accordance with the agreed model, support the preparation and updating of open educational resources. +
Universities and other organisations developing open education plan and implement joint projects that promote the capacity of all participants in the project to develop open educational resources, jointly develop highquality open educational resources and establish networks for the marketing of open educational resources. +
Universities and other organisations developing open education plan and implement cooperation projects for using open educational resources from higher education in other levels of education. +
The authors of open educational resources are recommended to provide metadata of the open educational resources they have created for the Library of Open Educational Resources. +
By 2025 Finland is known as a pioneer and promoter of open educational resources in higher education. +
Open Science Coordination provides information on open educational resources, the related policy and joint recommendations, and services and projects related to open education both in Finland and internationally. +
By 2023, Open Science Coordination, together with universities, providers of research funding and other organisations developing open education, will explore possibilities for a research project to study the quality, quantity, use and valuation of open educational resources at universities in European Union countries.
: i) The research project will identify and create methods that will enable a fair assessment of the use and valuation of open educational resources published in different countries and in different languages +
Universities and other organisations developing open education disseminate information on open educational resources and related practices within the organisation and to their partners and wider audience at both national and international level. +
The Finnish university and research community participates in promoting and researching the use and valuation of open educational resources at the EU level. +
Finnish universities and other organisations that develop open education, as well as Open Science Coordination, participate in international cooperation projects, especially in the EU, the objective of which is to promote the development and use of open educational resources. +
The policy is composed of joint principles and policy components of (a) open access to educational resources and (b) open educational practices that determine objectives and actions. The principles define the general terms and conditions for promoting open education and educational resources. They consist of important principles for the higher education and research community that must be adhered to in the promotion of openness. The objectives recorded in the policy components are more time-dependent goals that involve concrete actions. +, The Declaration for Open Science and Research states that "In the research community, responsible openness is a part of everyday research throughout the research process, and research organisations have assessment practices, incentives, and services in place to support this." This also applies to the thesis process, and this policy component on open access to theses applies to all theses completed in higher education institutions (bachelor’s and master’s theses at universities and universities of applied sciences, advanced studies theses, licentiate theses, and doctoral theses).
Open science enables a broader use of research results by the research community and society, thus increasing the impact of research as well as the level of scholarship and innovation in society. Openness and the transparency of the process are also intended to support the quality of research. In the context of universities of applied sciences, a thesis is a task that requires and demonstrates expertise and takes into account aspects of the challenges of working life, thus making openness particularly useful from a professional point of view. The policy component on open access to theses has been developed to serve these basic objectives from the perspective of theses. +
When evaluating education and open educational resources developed with it, the reliability of their content and other elements defining their quality are considered in addition to their openness. +
Review of the initial situation: In 2021, Open Science Coordination will determine how the general quality criteria for education and educational resources can be applied to open education and open educational resources, and what other quality criteria are needed. +
Continuous monitoring: In addition to monitoring the criteria, universities and universities of applied sciences ensure in their own quality systems that investments in creating and using open educational resources and other openly accessible education increase the overall quality of education. The universities ensure that high quality contact teaching is provided, even though open educational resources and education are extensively available. +
In the development and utilisation of open education and open educational resources copyright, data protection and ethical practices are respected. +
Review of the initial situation: In 2020, Open Science Coordination will assess which contractual and copyright, data protection and licensing issues must be taken into consideration when opening educational resources. +
