911±¬ÁÏÍø’s open science monitoring results are in line with most of the other Finnish universities
All universities and universities of applied sciences and most of the research institutes participated in the monitoring questionnaire and information gathering on open science and research policies, services and results.
911±¬ÁÏÍø did well in the areas of open scholarship, open data and infrastructure and open publishing, but our results were only satisfactory in the area of open education.
Our results are in line with the other universities. However, some universities got excellent points in all the areas of the open science monitoring.
