The Open Science concept promotes research efficiency, transparency, and interdisciplinary collaboration, drives innovation and benefits society. With the evolving demands of research funders and digital technologies, Open Science has gained significance in Estonia as well. Throughout the years, university libraries have collected knowledge and experience in this field to offer the necessary support and services to academics.
