Financial Support for Open Access Conference Publication

"The EPFL Library’s Open Access Fund promotes and facilitates Open Access publication of EPFL’s scientific results. EPFL authors can obtain a financial contribution from the Library to support their Article Processing Charge (APC) fees.

In recognition of the peculiarity of Computer Science, as initiated by Professor Bryan Ford, IC representative at the Library Commission, the Fund has been extended to support Open Access conference publication, under the following rules:

• Publication must be in a reputable peer-reviewed research venue with a formal proceedings.
• Only fully Open Access venues whose complete proceedings are posted online with no access restrictions, are eligible ('Hybrid' Open Access venues, in which authors may make individual papers open-access for an additional fee, are not eligible).
• The Open Access Fund will reimburse up to two-thirds of the conference registration costs of one author per paper published in an eligible venue, up to a maximum contribution of CHF 2,500 per publication.
• Funding support is limited to two publications per lab annually (for publications of any kind, conference or journal). It is dispensed on a 'first-come first-served' basis based on the publication’s acceptance date."
