Now that corona has closed almost all the library units and customer service points what does the library staff do? Most of the library work is actually even in normal times done out of sight.

The Academy of Finland requires that Academy-funded projects commit to ensuring open access to their research outputs. Projects must therefore commit to ensuring immediate open access to their peer-reviewed articles.

These requirements apply to projects funded through Academy calls opened after 1 January 2021.
