Excellent results for Aalto University in national Open Science monitoring
Aalto University achieved the highest level 5 in the national Open Science monitoring. The monitoring, carried out by the Federation of Finnish Learned Societies, consists of four areas: publishing, data and infrastructure, learning, and culture for open science. In the previous national monitoring, Aalto reached level five in publishing, data and infrastructure, and culture for open scholarship. In the 2026 monitoring, Aalto’s education leapt from level two to level four. The result reflects the development of Learning Services’ support for open learning and Aalto’s strategic work on open learning.
The results of the Open Science and Research monitoring are based on a survey completed by organizations and on quantitative data collected in the National Research Information Hub. The survey questions and organization-specific responses can be found on the research.fi website. Open Science monitoring began in 2022 and has been conducted every two years since. The 2026 monitoring serves as the final assessment of the 2020–2025 Open Science and Research declaration period and is based on the same monitoring model as in previous years. In future executions, the evaluation will be renewed and numerical grades will be discontinued.
