Publishing is one of Europe’s largest cultural industries, yet university presses and institutional publishers remain largely invisible in data, policy, and infrastructure debates. While commercial scholarly publishing is extensively documented, the diverse, non-profit, institutionally embedded publishing landscape is not. To address this gap, the Association of European University Presses launches a Europe-wide survey mapping university presses and other institutional publishers to better understand how institutional publishers operate, fund themselves, support researchers, and engage with Open Access – particularly Diamond OA. By contributing data, publishers help build the evidence base needed for better policy recognition, sustainable infrastructure design, and future European collaborations.
