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 publications. The long-term objective of the DFG is to contribute funds in the amount of publications resulting from DFG projects. In the second funding period (2024-2027), the calculation of the need for subsidies should be based exclusively on open access articles which demonstrably result from DFG funding, even though the use of the granted funds 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 funding programme “Infrastructures for Scholarly Publishing” aims to support the transition to open access through the establishment and development of suitable information infrastructures and the (further) development of structural conditions. The funding is focused on three thematic focus areas, namely:
- Structures for Transitioning to Open Access
- Open Access Infrastructures
- Digital Publishing
In the focus area “Structures for Transitioning to Open Access”, projects are funded which develop models and standardise transformative agreements and financial flows. In the focus area “Open Access Infrastructures”, funding focuses on establishing and developing quality-assured, nationally relevant publication platforms. In the focus area “Digital Publishing”, innovative techniques and procedures for scholarly publishing are developed, implemented and tested. Furthermore, projects are also funded that aim to launch or further develop an individual open access journal or to transition an individual journal to open access. For this purpose, the services of the Diamond Open Access Service Centre set up as part of the “Fresh Momentum for Diamond Open Access” call for proposals should be used primarily.
