European University Association (EUA) is organising a webinar on 4 September 2020 to present the progress of the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) and to provide an occasion for the sector to discuss the initiative from a university perspective.
Registration: https://eua.eu/events/141-eua-webinar-universities-and-the-european-open-science-cloud.html

This year, for the first time, we can summarize the extent of the open access transition by the transitional agreements. Documenting and analysing the changes that have taken place in the history of the national consortium during the last five years provides an opportunity to map the emerging trends, and also to better define what the Hungarian consortium model looks like.
