Build a more sustainable future for scholarly publishing—together.
Join us for a practical, energising afternoon seminar focused on turning sustainability principles into real, achievable action within scholarly publishing. Through expert insights, case studies, and collaborative workshops, you’ll explore workable strategies for reducing environmental impact across workflows and operations. Designed for organisations of all sizes, this in person event offers hands on guidance, shared problem solving, and valuable networking. Leave equipped with clear next steps, practical tools, and renewed momentum to drive meaningful sustainability change.
Sustainability is undoubtedly a prominent topic across industry events and conferences, yet meaningful progress towards a more sustainable publishing future remains slow. Many publishing professionals – particularly those working within smaller organisations – lack the practical knowledge, experience, or resources needed to translate high-level discussions into concrete action and effective sustainability policies.
An in-person seminar on this subject is therefore vital. It creates a focused, collaborative environment where ideas move beyond theory into practical application. By bringing together experts and peers from across scholarly publishing, a seminar facilitates the sharing of proven best practices, real-world case studies, and workable strategies for reducing environmental impact across publishing workflows and business operations.
