Proportionate cost coverage

If we approve supporting your publication, we cover publication fees totaling up to €5,000 in full. Higher publication fees must be financed proportionately by yourself. In this case, we need a WBS element (PSP Element) under which the remaining publication costs will then be billed to your institute. Additionally, please provide the name and email address of a contact at your institution who can provide and confirm account information.
