APE 2025

Academic Publishing in Europe

The APE International Conferences have been organized annually at the beginning of the year without interruption since 2006.

The conferences bring together all stakeholders in scholarly communications and scientific publishing. The main participants are academic, educational, scientific, technological, medical, and legal publishers, university presses, research funders, researchers, authors, editors, librarians, teachers, learned and professional societies and associations, funding agencies, policy makers, subscription agencies and booksellers, recruiting agencies and technology providers.

The APE Conferences underline the role of specialized information, promoting the creation, description, and dissemination of research results in the form of publications by universities, colleges, research institutions and scientific societies.
