Fraunhofer Open Access Strategy 2020

Outstanding research and the realization of innovations in industry and everyday life are the foundation of the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft’s work. Producing research of consistently excellent quality is therefore firmly anchored in the organization’s guiding principles and an essential requirement for all Fraunhofer Institutes. In order to promote innovation, it is required that research findings are shared as directly as possible and with a minimum of delay. When publishing the results of its research, Fraunhofer therefore unreservedly pursues the principle of open access.
