The APE Conferences aim to provide a better understanding of scholarly communication and the role of information in science, education and society. They encourage debate about the future of value-added scientific publishing, information dissemination and access to scientific results and offer an independent forum for open discourse.

Please note that the APE 2022 Conference will be a digital-only event. The alarming increase in Covid-19 cases in Germany, the appearance of the new Omicron variant, and new, more strict limitations on the number of people that can gather in enclosed spaces in Berlin unfortunately requires this change. Nonetheless, the program content remains very timely, and the list of speakers is once again impressive.

Starting 2021, the logistics for the Academic Publishing in Europe Conference is provided by the Berlin Institute for Scholarly Publishing (BISP), a not-for-profit organization dedicated to bringing publishers, researchers, funders and policymakers together.

International & Independent for all Stakeholders in Scholarly Communications and Scientific Publishing:
Participants are drawn from: 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.
