Against the background that universities and research institutions are required to develop integrated information budgets, the BMBF-funded project open-access.network 2 has been organising the workshop series Finanzielle Gestaltung der Open-Access-Transformation an Hochschulen und Wissenschaftseinrichtungen (Financial Design of the Open Access Transformation at Universities and Research Institutions) since autumn 2023. The first part of the series deals with the implementation of an information budget. One goal in the development and implementation of an information budget is the sustainable provision of an infrastructure for scientific publishing. The second part of the series deals with different models of Diamond Open Access publishing and projects that deal with their implementation. In order to make the knowledge repository created during the workshop series accessible to all interested parties, open-access.network has published a handout with all the important information, best practices and further links on Zenodo. It will be continuously expanded as a living document on the project website.
