Organizer The University of Macedonia Press The UOMPress was established after a decision of the University of Macedonia Senate in June 2001. Actual work had already started in 1998, under the EEC working project called 'Bibliographical Support', when the initial team was formed and the necessary equipment was acquired. It is now housed at the ground floor of the University. Digital and conventional educational material, as well as the design, production and print management of a large part of the University information literature, constitute part of the UOMPress activities. Furthermore, the University publishing house following an open policy goes after, not only university books and companions, but also titles of general interest (history, education, children's literature etc). The UOMPress works towards the setting of high academic and design standards in the greek book production field. It organizes a demanding program, developing an ambitious list that already includes a number of successful titles. Moreover, the UOMPress is heavily involved with research and education as far as typography and communication is concerned. Some of the UOMPress 'peripheral' activities include the organization of the '1st meeting of the Greek University Publishing Houses', the establishment of the event called 'International Conference on Typography and Visual Communication' (ICTVC), the running of seminars on innovative printing technologies, seminars concerning the theory of typography and the history of graphic communication, as well as the participation to national book fairs and book presentations. |
