Fachinformationsdienst Geschlechterforschung/Gender Studies (FID Gender Studies)

The FID Gender Studies is the first centrally coordinated infrastructure for providing scholarly information for inter- and transdisciplinary gender research in Germany. The FID supports researchers with target group-specific services in gender studies and other disciplines in which gender-related or intersectional perspectives are pursued. It bundles existing research infrastructures, improves the supply of literature, and creates target group-specific services in the area of research data management and open access. The focus is on sustainable support and making gender-related research visible - including via a specialist portal that will go online next year.

The first services will be available from 2026. From then on, workshops will also be held in the various fields of action of the FID. They will address the needs of the specialist community and invite them to help shape the services.

The project is supported by a consortium consisting of:

• GESIS – Leibniz-Institut für Sozialwissenschaften,
• Margherita-von-Brentano-Zentrum of the Freie Universität Berlin,
• Zentrum für transdisziplinäre Geschlechterstudien of the Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin,
• Universitätsbibliothek der HU Berlin,
• and Forschungsdatenzentrum Qualiservice.
