Finland
Current status
We have completed the official translations of the CC 4.0 suite and CC0. We have participated in creating a national standard (JHS 189) that names CC BY 4.0 and CC0 as the licenses to use in public open data.
Our key people are:
- Tarmo Toikkanen, general lead, technology, communications (Aalto University)
- Sanna Marttila, GLAM sector (Aalto University)
- Maria Rehbinder, legal counsel (Aalto University)
Roadmap
CC Finland has reached most of its high priority goals during the years 2014-2015.

GLAM projects are underway, besides which we focus on general dissemination, documentation, and facilitation adoption.
