The agencies are the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (#CIHR), the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (#NSERC) and the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (#SSHRC) — sometimes known collectively as the #TriAgency.

Update. The #EuropeanCouncil just adopted the #OpenScience proposal anticipated earlier this month (this thread, above). No #embargoes. No #APCs. #Nonprofit publishing. #OpenLicenses. #OpenInfrastructure. https://www.consilium.europa.eu/en/press/press-releases/2023/05/23/council-calls-for-transparent-equitable-and-open-access-to-scholarly-publications/

While this is not yet policy, it's a weighty recommendation to the Commission and member states.
