Open assessment

Last updated

Open assessment is a method for making impact assessments where anyone can participate and contribute. [1] Most open assessments have been made in Opasnet, which is a wiki-based web-workspace specifically designed for this purpose. The open assessment method has been developed in the Finnish Institute for Health and Welfare (THL, Finnish : Terveyden ja hyvinvoinnin laitos) in Finland originally for providing guidance in complex environmental health problems. So far, it has been applied on e.g. air pollution [2] and pollutants in fish. [3] Opasnet has won the World Summit Award Finland competition, the eGovernment and Institutions category. [4]
