Redux 2026

After successful events at UCL, Cambridge, and Edinburgh and an imminent event in Oxford, the UP Redux will return to Liverpool in 2026. For the first time, the event's programming will be developed by a committee spanning multiple UPs rather than solely reliant on its host.

If you want to join that committee, please email A.Cond@liverpool.ac.uk for further details. All career stages and perspectives are welcome.

About the event

The University Press Redux conference was founded in 2016 and grew out of a need for a forum for university presses in the UK and Europe to share with, and learn from, each other. Like its US-based cousin, the Annual Meeting of the Association of University Presses, Redux has addressed both the general role of publishers in the scholarly ecosystem and the distinctive challenges and opportunities for university-based publishers.

Over the two day event, held in different locations, attendees can enjoy an international view of the many and varied aspects of publishing from university presses. The conference brings together university presses large and small, as well as the associated industries and organizations they work with, including funders, policy makers, libraries and service providers.

The communications leading up to the event were excellent, and the whole conference was brilliantly organised. The programme also featured some brilliant plenaries and sessions which were very relevant.
