In February 2022, GenderOpen entered the next project period: funded by the Berlin University Alliance (BUA), GenderOpen can be consolidated and further developed over the next four years.
The tasks within the framework of BUA funding include, on the one hand, the internationalization of the publishing service and the corresponding expansion of content acquisition. On the other hand, the need for an open-access primary and secondary publishing service for PhD theses and other types of documents will be investigated. If need be, this service will be developed. Furthermore, it is planned to link and integrate the existing Open Access projects in gender studies, with regard to an adaptable concept of “openness” for similarly complex and diversely organized scientific fields. Finally, an application for third-party funding for the further development of the project should also be submitted.
