Finnish Committee for Research Data (FCRD, in Finnish Data-asiain kansalliskomitea, DAK) is a cooperative body under The Council of Finnish Academies and Open Knowledge Finland. Its purpose is to link national scientific communities to international umbrella organisations.
Based on FCRD’s rules (unofficial translation): “the task of the Committee is to promote the status of open data and open science in Finland, as well as support and improve the usability of research data and best promote best practices in data management. The Committee serves as a collaborative body between the domestic and the international scientific communities in the field.”
In addition to international activities, FCRD can arrange events in Finland that support aforementioned activities – alone or in collaboration with other partners, and participate in relevant working group activities or discussions.
In 2018 FCRD published Data Citation Roadmap for Finland. The document can be read in Doria: https://urn.fi/URN:NBN:fi-fe201804106446
