Estonia

In Open Science in Estonia, the horizontal value passes through the research system and practice is taken into account, among other things, in scientific communication, research results evaluation, funding decisions, research career development and scientific information access. The general principle is that Open Science makes research results for society accessible to businesses and researchers making research more transparent and efficient. The Estonian Research, Development, Innovation, and Entrepreneurship Development Plan 2021–2035 (TAIE) plan has two goals related to Open Science:

• Developing principles for ensuring open science and high-performance computing power and action plan, securing the necessary repositories and services

• Supporting the implementation of the Open Science principles to improve research performance and the availability and use of data by researchers, businesses and citizens

There are several Estonian universities and organisations participating in EOSC projects and development, such as in EOSC Nordic.
