Open access book fund for UG and UMCG authors now open

01 July 2024

The University of Groningen introduced an open access book fund; the new funding cycle is now open (2024-2026).

UG- or UMCG-affiliated authors can apply for funding the publication of their monograph or edited volume. This funding instrument aims to stimulate the publication of open access academic books. The fund can be used to pay for the open access fee, also known as Book Processing Charge (BPC). The maximum reimbursement is 5,000 Euros per publication.

A s of this funding cycle each faculty has its own separate budget. Once the faculty budget is exhausted, applications will be closed for that faculty.

The University Library team is here to help and advise with regard to book contract negotiations. If you have any questions or require assistance, please contact us at openaccess rug.nl.
