The challenges – as well as the opportunities – of open data are affecting more and more researchers, and regardless of the discipline, the same questions come up again and again: Can I open the research data I have collected? What does it require? How to deal with sensitive material? In March 2021, the University of Helsinki’s Data Support, in cooperation with data repositories, organized a webinar that brought together researchers and data management experts from various fields. The webinar focused on what it takes to open data and how open materials can be used. This blog post sums up the event.

Open data as the foundation of interdisciplinary research – interview with Francesca Morello
If you could choose one way to advance opening data (regardless of costs), what would it be? Francesca Morello would choose data stewards as part of every research group: ”Data steward, as an expert professional, would be capable to support researchers’ choices on daily bases and could help them promote the optimal reuse of their data: both positive results but also negative findings.” Morello is one of the speakers at the webinar event ”What it takes: Open your research data” that takes place on 25 March 2021.
”Avoin oppiminen edellyttää, että palveluun panostetaan” – uusi palvelu kokoaa avoimet oppimateriaalit yhteen paikkaan
Avoimia oppimateriaaleja tuotetaan paljon hankkeissa ja oppilaitoksissa, mutta aineistoja laajasti yhteen kokoava paikka on toistaiseksi puuttunut. Nyt sellainen on valmisteilla. CSC:ssä on rakennettu avointen oppimateriaalien palvelua yhteistyössä opettajien kanssa noin vuoden ajan. Palveluun voi tallentaa ja kuvata aineistoja, ja niitä voi etsiä sieltä. Helsingin yliopiston opettajat voivat käyttää palvelua HY-käyttäjätunnuksilla. Palvelu avautuu tallentajille loppusyksystä ja käyttäjille vuodenvaihteessa. Uusi palvelu vahvistaa osaltaan opetuksen merkityksen vahvistumista avoimessa tieteessä.
Umpio provides researchers with a tool for processing sensitive data
The Umpio service is an answer to researchers’ queries about how to process sensitive personal data. The service was developed and tested on during last year, and the service will be further developed. At the moment, Umpio offers a more efficient and lighter solution for storing sensitive data than a dedicated server.
