Thanks to @RebekahKTromble for the huge amount of work you put into delivering this report. Drafting a GDPR code of conduct is no easy task and your working group and @A__W______O have done an amazing job.
The #EDMOeu report on platform-to-researcher data access is out.
The draft Code of Conduct will be presented to the cabinet of @VeraJourova at our Annual Conference.
