[Open-science-nl] Fwd: [open-science] Science Source proposal

Sun Feb 18 13:06:37 UTC 2018

Hi all,

I am very interested in hearing more about this from the perspective of
Eurodoc and our associations.

Would it be possible to organise a Skype meeting soon with some of the
people behind the initiative?

All the best,
