The Feminist Autonomous Centre for research (FAC research) is a registered urban non-profit community-based research centre in Athens, Greece. It is member-driven and funded mainly by membership fees, and works to build autonomous, feminist and queer knowledge production outside dominant academic institutions. Its activities include research projects, the FAC press open-access publishing project, community courses, a feminist library, a film school, and an annual transfeminist no-borders summer school held in Palermo. Its research addresses gender, sexuality, anti-gender politics, border criminalisation and the post-dictatorship history of Greece. The centre operates a collective code of contact based on restorative approaches to conflict and accountability, and it seeks financial and political autonomy from state, supranational and private funders. It is open to individuals, collectives and affiliated research centres.
