On Monday 19 September, ENoLL President Tuija Hirvikoski has been invited to participate at the roundtable of the Open Science Policy Platform. Ms Hirvikoski has also been nominated as a member of the platform. 

The mandate of the Open Science Policy Platform is to:

• advise the Commission on how to further develop and practically implement open science policy, in line with the priority of Commissioner Moedas to radically improve the quality and impact of European science
• function as a dynamic, stakeholder-driven mechanism for bringing up and addressing issues of concern for the European science and research community and its representative organisations, following five broad lines for actions which are presented in the draft European Open Science Agenda PDF icon 124 KB
• support policy formulation by helping to identify the issues to be addressed and providing recommendations on the policy actions required
• support policy implementation, contributing to reviewing best practices, drawing policy guidelines and encouraging their active uptake by stakeholders
• provide advice and recommendations on any cross-cutting issue affecting Open Science

After the fruitful discussions, Ms Hirvikoski has given the following statement:

“For many years ENoLL and many universities including Laurea have already experimented many element of the OS policy the EC is now developing. Moreover, our network also developed different action models (such as Learning by Developing) as well as better research design, methods and toolkits to apply the nonlinear human-centric and multi-stakeholder innovation approach at our universities and Living Labs. Therefore, Europe needs not the reinvent the wheel, but to the learn from the pool of experience that has been created. Moreover, if needed our network could be used as an open value co-creation and experimentation platform. To create a tangilbe raodmap for OS will help to make most out of the DSM and the EUR 6 billion investment to develop supercomputer and quantum technology”

You can participate at the Open Science conference in Berlin on 21-22 March 2017.
