9. Research funders Key roles in creating impact
The strenghth of the interaction with ATT Initiative is linked to the impact
From recommedations to requirements -> impact
Impact, how?
Close and continuous mutual interaction between ATT Initiative and the funders
Lauri Tuomi 2016

10. National stakeholders – strong impact
The mutual impact due to close collaboration
The roadmap update would make the stakeholders role more visible
Impact, how? Close mutual collaboration
Lauri Tuomi 2016

11. Innovation ecosystem First actions have been taken by ATT Initiative
The ecosystem actors have a strong interest in Open science:
OS would democratise the research and enable SMEs’ participation
The digitalization (i.e. OS, too) as an opportunity to all of the industries
New competencies needed on both sides!
Impact, how? Collaboration + experimentation and piloting
Lauri Tuomi 2016

12. International organisations
Finland is seen as a forerunner OS
OS is a new ’modus operandi’ – global challenge
Impact found on all three levels
Impact, how? Continuous and active participation internationally,
conceptualisation of ATT Initiative as a model for transformation
Lauri Tuomi 2016

13. Conclutions ATT Initiative – Success story
a dynamic, multi-actor and multi-level facilitator and accelerator of open science
Impact on all three levels – and there is still one year to go!
Strongest on interest level
Medium strong on policy level
Started on operational level
Lauri Tuomi 2016

14. Ideas for the future – the ’takeaways’
Active participation in international forums of openness, especially involvement in EOSC (Cloud) discussions
The conceptualizing of ATT Initiative for others to use (maturity model etc.) together with international organisations
Specific actions to activate researchers and staff members (education packages etc.)
The collection of best practices (data policy implementation guidelines, discipline specific cases and guidelines)
Special attention towards open innovation
Collaboration with ecosystem actors (SY, EK, TEKES, UASes etc.), pilots and experimentation on the utilization of open science in companies, SME round table etc.
