• OS, a tweet by Ivo Grigorov (Grants Support. Open Science. Knowledge Transfer. Ocean literacy. UN SDG14, OA for Climate): 

Challenges for Open Science: “Publishing should serve Science, but it doesn’t! Science seems to serve publishers” (the tweet quotes Kostas Glinos from the European Commission during KRE21 Conference).

• UNESCO, a tweet by Lutz Möller (Deputy Secretary-General, German Commission for UNESCO):

"A Milestone! While formal adoption will take place next week, UNESCO GC has had its final discussion and endorsement on the landmark UNESCO Open Science Recommendation. Unanimously! More than 50 governments voiced unconditional strong support. Great Day!"
