FIMM Genomics is a non-profit academic core facility. We are part of HILIFE Genome Analysis Infrastructure and a member of Biocenter Finland Genome-wide methods network. FIMM is also a member of EU-LIFE alliance.

We provide open access services on a first come, first-serve basis.

Collaboration between FIMM Genomics staff and user/research group is possible. Following criteria must be met with collaboration:

• FIMM Genomics staff (member) provides intellectual input to the project
• The collaboration must be mutually beneficial: user obtains services that go beyond the routine workflows offered by FIMM Genomics. FIMM Genomics gets opportunities for method development, which is an essential part of the lab operations as a LSRI, as well as measurable outputs (e.g. publications) for the personnel.
• Collaborations often result in joint publications. Authorship rules should be followed, and “substantive intellectual contribution” used as an authorship criteria.

When possible, consider sharing your research outcomes such as publications, research data, methods, and codes. Scholarly publications produced should prioritize openly available publishers that can be accessed by anyone at any time. All publications produced at the University are self-archived in the Universities digital repository HELDA.

Open science contributes to the reliability and self-correction of science. Open access to research-based knowledge is key for societal and global impact of universities.
