In addition, the work of cOALition S (a group of research funding organisations, with the support of the European Commission and the European Research Council), which brings together institutions and organizations that finance research and strives to provide open access to research publications, will be presented. Participants will have the opportunity to take part in the discussion planned after the presentation, and to exchange experiences on open access with representatives of regional organisations.

According to the agenda, two sessions are planned as part of the event, namely a public event intended for all interested parties and a working group meeting intended for members of the project team.

The working language of the event, which is held in a hybrid model and through the Zoom platform, is English, and everyone who wants to participate should register via this link no later than 15 September.
