The International Convention of University Presses was born as an initiative from the Argentinian Network of University Presses (REUN) and the Frankfurt Book Fair. The American Network AAUP has joined the efforts since the second edition. The Convention provides a platform for discussions on common issues in academic publishing at international level and is a worldwide opportunity to present and create interaction among national and regional networks of University Presses. The event aims to be a meeting point for the exchange of ideas and reflection, where relevant topics of academic publishing are engaged, such as: common practices of the exchange of experience, commercialization, co-edition, license trade, information dissemination in the academic world, etc.
