The aim of the National Open Science and Research Steering Group is to bring together the research community to promote open science. All the key organisations in the Finnish research community have nominated their representatives to the Steering Group. The current Steering Group will work till the end of 2026.

The promotion of open science and research is a collaborative effort within the Finnish research community. The work is organized around four expert panels and their respective working groups. These expert panels convene annually at open science and research events, where they identify coordination and collaboration needs for open science and research.
