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. +
Continuous monitoring: In addition to monitoring the criteria, in 2021, Open Science Coordination will launch a study on the intellectual property rights (including the educational resources prepared on the basis of these) of research outputs in order to clarify ownership and contractual issues. The report will utilise the expertise of universities and employee organisations in the field of research and education. +
The development of open education and open educational resources takes into account their accessibility and applicability to a diversity of learners. +
Continuous monitoring: As part of the national monitoring of open science. +
Review of the initial situation: In 2021, Open Science Coordination will identify the criteria for the accessibility of educational resources. By 2022, the criteria for observing the diversity of learners and the responsibility of content in open education and educational resources will be identified. +
Work for developing open education and educational resources is evaluated in the merit criteria and in the planning of duties. +
Review of the initial situation: In 2021, Open Science Coordination will identify the best practices, how the development of open education and educational resources will be taken into consideration in duties and how they will be given merits. In addition, Open Science Coordination plans, together with CSC, universities and other organisations developing open education, the indicators and knowledge base to support the evaluation of merits. +
Continuous monitoring: As part of the national monitoring of open science. +

The policy for open scholarship brings together the previous policies and recommendations made within the framework of the Open Science and Research Coordination. The policy focuses on the culture of open scholarship of an organisation. In addition, previous policies will be supplemented with perspectives related to services, incentives, and interaction. +
