When reporting their publication costs, the Forschungsinstitut für Nutztierbiologie (FBN) (Research Institute for Farm Animal Biology) had agreed to share the data with OpenAPC as well. This data has now been transferred and integrated, making the institution participate in OpenAPC for the first time.
