Many European research funders, including the Academy of Finland, demand that data produced in projects of their funding must be open. Open data is also an essential demand of the growing Open Science Movement. Why the data should be open? What are the pros and cons of opening research data? In the webinar on open data in forest sciences organised by the Finnish Society of Forest Science, the participants heard on the experiences of data openers and users of open data, good practices for opening your data, open data of the Finnish Forest Centre and on the new openness and transparency policy in the journals of the Finnish Society of Forest Science. The webinar was in Finnish.
The links to the webinar recordings are available on the Finnish page of the webinar.
