Reimbursement of Open Access Publishing Costs
Leibniz Universität Hannover’s Open Access Publishing Fund
In 2013, Leibniz Universität Hannover established a € 50,000 Publishing Fund with support from the German Research Foundation (DFG). University scientists can be granted resources from this fund to cover their open access publishing costs.
Please note:
You may only apply for a reimbursement of costs once your publication has been accepted by the publisher. (See Eligibility conditions and Conditions to be met for the reimbursement.) You will only be eligible for support from the Open Access Publishing Fund if all alternative sources of finance have been exhausted, particularly when publishing results obtained from third party-funded research.
