:* [http://www.minedu.fi/OPM/Tiede/ohjaus_ja_rahoitus/valtionavustukset/tietokayttoon.html Hakukuulutus] Avoimen tieteen ja tutkimuksen edistäminen sekä avoimuuden hyödyntäminen innovaatiotoiminnassa [http://avointiede.fi/rahoitushaku]


'''GovLab practices in Opasnet (Opaslab)''' is a research and development project that aims to combine lessons learned from three important lines of work. They have each worked in different areas, but their synergism is what makes this project unique:
* '''Opasnet''' is a web workspace for making science-based impact assessments and models to support societal decision making. The web workspace is designed to implement ''[[open policy practice]]'', a systematic method to produce relevant information for decision support.
* '''The GovLab''' is an organisation within the New York University developing new practices for open governance. Their key method is to test ideas in practice to see what works.
* '''[https://www.innokyla.fi/about-innovillage Innovillage]''' is a project within the National Institute for Health and Welfare ([[THL]]) in Finland. It aims at collecting, developing, and sharing good practices within the health sector.

The objectives of this project are to:
# bring the open policy practice method into a new setting in the GovLab and test for its applicability,
# develop open policy practice further based on lessons learned in the GovLab,
# describe the new practices in Innovillage as a platform to share the practices further,
# implement the new practices with [https://www.csc.fi/home CSC - IT center for science] in practical cases in Finnish governance.

The Ministry of Education and Culture of Finland has developed a roadmap for open science
http://en.opasnet.org/w/Open_science_roadmap (with my comments in blue and green)

They have also produced a related open science and research handbook (draft 1.0 available):
http://openscience.fi/handbook

We in THL have developed a method called open policy practice http://en.opasnet.org/w/OPP
which is based on the idea of open information processes. The Opasnet website was developed as a workspace where open policy practice can be practically implemented.

But the development work by the ministry and the work by us has not converged before, and this is the time to do it. So, I suggest that

#    I will merge the ideas from the handbook (or handbook version 2, which should be published soon) and open policy practice into one coherent open science and policy handbook (let's call it version 3),
#    possibly update some functionalities in Opasnet, if the handbook v3 warrants that,
#    then come to New York where I will explore the relevance of the handbook v3+Opasnet to your civic tech/governance-oriented research and advisory work in several policy areas, health care primary among them,
#    at the same time, I will explore the relevance of your project-based innovations, both analytical and technological, as well as those of individuals and groups in our extended networks, to the further development of handbook v3+Opasnet,
#    back in Finland, I will produce a draft handbook v4+Opasnet (with maybe some additional functionalities) to the ministry for review and implementation.


As you can see, I took your text but embedded that into a more familiar context for the ministry. This hopefully also makes it more practical, as there are clear products (handbook drafts v3 and v4) at certain points of the project. If this plan works out, it should produce good synergism between the GovLab, THL and the Ministry of Education in our shared attempt to increase openness in science and policy.
