As the largest university in Brandenburg, the University of Potsdam (UP) has been strongly involved in the Open Access movement since its beginnings.

To accompany this, the Universitätsverlag (university press), founded in 1998, publishes several hundred OA monographs and two OA journals. Tobias Höhnow, Peter Kostädt, and Joshua Shelly work for the Transform2Open team.
