Open Access
Service Center

Sharing knowledge, making information accessible to all and accelerating academic debate — these are the aims of open access. The Open Access Service Center can help you publish your research findings in an open-access format, provide support with complying with open-access guidelines and advise on technical and financial issues connected with open access. Feel free to contact us!

You would like to apply directly for funding of your open access publication? Maybe we have an insitutional agreement with the publisher of your choice and your Open Access charges are already covered centrally. Otherwise, use the application form!

Please note that we have run out of funds for monographs and edited books for this year. Applications will be possible again in 2025.
