To support the visibility of research in the best possible way, TUM has significantly expanded its infrastructure in literature provision and publication services. Through a joint effort, the TUM Board of Management, the University Library, and the TUM Schools have established the financial foundation to substantially increase the proportion of TUM's Open Access publications. Starting in 2025, the budget will be further supplemented by DFG funding secured for Open Access publishing.
With the adoption of the TUM Open Access Policy, the TUM Board of Management encourge all researchers to publish their scientific findings in line with the principles of the Open Access movement. Moreover, TUM is a signatory of the Berlin Declaration on Open Access to Knowledge in the Sciences and Humanities.
