5 Opening up Science in Finland The Ministry of Education and Culture has launched the Open Science and Research Initiative, for the promotion of information availability and open science for years The Initiative will implement the national political agenda in a way that increases the competitiveness and quality of the Finnish research system.

Archives, promotes and disseminates digital research data. Funded by the Ministry of Education and Culture. Other actors CSC IT Center for Science Ltd. develops and provides IT services for research, education, culture, and administrative purposes The National Library of Finland provides centralized repository platform services Federation of Finnish Learned Societies supports publishing activities by providing distribution and storage services and consultation FinnOA is a group of professionals from academia, libraries and data management, promoting open access to scientific information
10 Big data in Finland The Ministry of Education has invested through CSC IT Center for Science Ltd. in state-of-the-art solutions like fast networks, tiered computing, scientific applications, information management, data services as well as expert support The Ministry of Transport and Communications is working on a national Big Data Strategy due out in June 2014 Data intensive computing is recognized as one of the 21 Paths to a Friction-Free Finland that will lead to innovation and services and eventually economic growth Polytechnics and universities are responding to the recognized lack of experts in big data by starting new programs and cooperation with companies
11 Funet, the Finnish University and Research Network Close to 80 member organizations and users. Funet is one of the most advanced research networks in the world. At best the network enables up to 40 optical channels, each with the capacity of up to 40 Gbp/s. A single lightpath reaches 100 Gbp/s.
12 Problems to be solved in big data A survey conducted in 2013 by the Finnish Ministry of Transport and Communications listed the following problems encountered in data intensive computing Lack of experts (25%) Poor quality of data (17%) Unclear meaning (14%) Unripe / scattered technology (10%) Privacy / legislation (10%) Lack of innovations / market (10%) High costs (9%) No problems (4%) Lack of references (1%)
13 Conclusion Finland has a high number of researchers By 2017, Finland is aiming to become a leading country in the openness of science and research Big data is recognized as a very important new technology and a national strategy is in the making The Funet network and the computing services of CSC IT Center for Science Ltd. enable big data in research and science Main problems facing big data are lack of experts, complexity of data and legislative issues
