The Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) is one of seven UK Research Councils. It delivers independent research, survey, training and knowledge transfer in the environmental sciences. All the UK Research Councils are public bodies falling under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 and the Environmental Information Regulations 2004. This open access legislation came into force on January 1, 2005 and since then the authors have built up substantial experience in managing NERC's data and information under both the Act and the Regulations. This article aims to explain how to manage the, often blurred, boundary between these two pieces of legislation, and the overlap between data management and the legislation.

The EOSC Governance Symposium 2020 brought the EOSC community together to discuss the transition of the EOSC from its initial phase of development (2016-2020) to its second implementation phase (2021-2027). The event was a culmination of two years of work carried out by the current EOSC governance including the EOSC Governance Board and the Executive Board and its Working Groups. Delivered online to just under 1,000 EOSC stakeholders from over 50 different countries, this was not only the largest EOSC Symposium yet, but it was also an essential opportunity for convergence and alignment principles and priorities which are key for ensuring a smooth transition to the implementation phase. During the Symposium, the Executive Board and its Working Groups delivered nine vital documents which were in various stages of publication. They pave the way forward for EOSC and provided the right spark for extensive and constructive discussion throughout the four days. We would like to thank the EOSC Governance, the German Presidency of the Council of the European Union, and the EOSC Community. Finally, we'd like to thank you, the EOSC stakeholders who despite these challenging times, made this the biggest EOSC Symposium to date
