The electronic platform is intended to make findings from gender studies research permanently and freely accessible and stored for the long term. At the same time, it gives authors a better opportunity to publicize their gender studies research findings, opening them up to more rapid and targeted academic attention in this interdisciplinary field. The repository makes it possible to build bridges between the research history of women's studies and gender research, which has spanned several decades, and its viability as a recognized and networked field of research. The repository is an important step toward making publications and knowledge resulting from gender research more freely available through open access.

The project leaders are Dr. Anita Runge, managing director of the Margherita von Brentano Center at Freie Universität Berlin (main project leader), Dr. Karin Aleksander from the Center for Transdisciplinary Gender Studies at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, and Professor Dr. Sabine Hark from the Center for Interdisciplinary Women and Gender Studies Research at Technische Universität Berlin.
