Aldus Up – Building Bridges in the Book World – is a large-scale cooperation project co-funded in the framework of Creative Europe Program coordinated by the Italian Publishers Association (AIE). In line with the richness and variety of the European book sector, the Aldus Up partnership features both international and domestic book fairs, national and European publishers’ associations as well as organisations with consolidated know-how and experiences in the areas of activities addressed by the project.
Aldus Up, the European Book Fairs network promoting the internationalization of the book sector and the innovation of book fairs formats. Aldus Up will develop studies, surveys and initiatives addressing core topics for the book sector: translations in Europe, reading habits – with particular attention to the impact of digitisation – and reading promotion as well as new models for book fairs to develop and engage with their audience, transnational mobility of book professionals and increase inclusivity for specific target groups. Publications and information resources developed by Aldus Up will be presented in dedicated events hosted by European book fairs and made available online in form of articles, in-depth analyses and studies on the Aldus Up knowledge platform K-HUB(opens in a new window), including some exclusive contents for members of the Aldus Community(opens in a new window).
