Mission
The Association of University Presses (AUP, also International Association of University Presses) is an international non-profit organization. It provides a multilingual forum for University Presses worldwide. It connects its members from North and South America, Europe, Africa, Asia, Oceania and Australia. AUP members dedicate their work to the academic community and the public and fulfill an important role for education, for distribution of knowledge and for advancing the society.
Cooperation
The AUP members around the world face the same challenges of
non-commercial short-run academic publishing and the new trend
of digitalization. The AUP promotes innovative solutions by
encouraging Presses with best practice solutions to share them
with all members. One goal is to create a platform with easy
access to all publications of member presses.
Support of likewise minded Associations and Initiatives
The AUP is multilingual and globally oriented and therefore cannot compete with or substitute the great work done in the regional associations. The AUP therefore especially encourages US University Presses to join the American Assocation of University Presses (AAUP) as well as Spanish University Presses to join the Asociación de Editores Universitarios Españoles (UNE). They offer Annual Meetings and a rich portfolio of services just around the corner for the regional members. If the AUP meets in Frankfurt, only few presses can participate. AUP members often only meet online. Many more members can come to the AAUP Meetings. The AUP supports all likewise minded regional associations and other initiatives like Open Access or the Convention of University Presses.
Annual Meeting October 8-12, 2014
The next Annual Meeting is at the Frankfurt Bookfair October
8-12, 2014, at the Convention of University Presses organized
by Jesús Jimenez et al..
