Ready to move from awareness to action? Join this interactive, hands-on 1.5-hour workshop to learn how to support and fund open infrastructures and help your institution to do the same. The workshop is organized by the Forum for Open Research in the Middle East and North Africa in partnership with the Global Sustainability Coalition for Open Science Services (SCOSS). 

Iryna Kuchma, EIFL Open Access Programme Manager and SCOSS Board Member, is among experts giving input at the workshop. EIFL is a member of SCOSS.

In April 2026, EIFL submitted comments for a public consultation organized by the Intellectual Property Office of the Republic of Serbia on the Draft Law on Copyright and Related Rights (2026). The amendments seek to harmonize Serbian law with two EU Directives (Directive 2012/28 on orphan works and Directive 2014/26 on collective management organizations), and to implement the Marrakesh Treaty for persons with disabilities into national law.

EIFL has signed a three-year agreement with Encyclopaedia Britannica Ltd providing discounted pricing for Britannica Academic, a comprehensive, authoritative digital library featuring expert-reviewed encyclopedia articles, primary sources, journals, and multimedia.

Libraries in 29  EIFL partner countries are eligible to access Britannica Academic through this agreement. The agreement starts on 1 April 2026 and runs for three years, until 31 March  2029.
