How Does the DFG Support Open Access in Infrastructure Funding?
The "Open Access Publication Funding” Programme
The "Open Access Publication Funding” programme aims to subsidise the costs associated with open access publication. The DFG’s long-term goal is to provide grants covering all publications resulting from DFG-funded projects. In the current second funding period (2024-2027) should the calculation of the need for subsidies be based exclusively on open access articles which demonstrably result from DFG funding, even though the use of this funding requested is still flexible as in the first period. Funds may also be requested to publish books in open access providing that they result from DFG funding. Universities and non-university research institutions are eligible to submit proposals.

The "Infrastructures for Scholarly Publishing” Programme
The "Infrastructures for Scholarly Publishing" programme aims to further advance the open access transformation. This includes both the establishment and further development of suitable information infrastructures and the development or advancement of the structural framework for publishing scholarly material. The funding is focused on three thematic focus areas, namely:
- establish the structures for open access transformation
- open access infrastructures and
- digital publishing
In the focus area “Structures for Transitioning to Open Access”, projects are funded which develop models and standardise agreements and financial flows. In the focus area “Open Access Infrastructures”, the funding is aimed at establishing and developing quality-assured, relevant publication platforms which operate on a nationwide basis. In the focus area “Digital Publishing”, innovative techniques and procedures for academic publishing are developed, implemented and tested. Furthermore, projects are also funded whose objective is to create or further develop an individual open access journal or to transform an individual journal to open access. For this purpose, priority should be attached to using the services of the Diamond Open Access Service Centre that has been established as part of the call "Fresh Momentum for Diamond Open Access".
