The Dresden University of Applied Sciences intends to establish a publication fund to support its members in the publication of Open Access journal articles. The DFG's start-up funding will be used to create reliable structures for financing article processing charges. The fund can be used to pay fees for the publication of articles in original, quality-checked Open Access journals. Accompanying measures are intended to ensure that scientists and scholars are offered a real service for making their research results available in Open Access. The Dresden University of Applied Sciences attaches particular importance to the promotion of young academics. In addition to reserving resources in the fund for young researchers, Open Access is also anchored in the university's graduate Service.
