Calling start-ups: the ones boldly designing solutions to help transform scholarly communications. Small businesses leverage innovation to advance trusted research in effective, game-changing ways. Is this you — your start-up? If yes, we'd love to hear from you.
What's this about? STM champions start-ups that advance trusted research — the companies leveraging technology and innovation to zero in on niche issues; evolve scholarly communications in positive ways; to better serve society.
To that end, we're planning a Start-up Fair on December 6 — as part of our annual STM Week held at the Congress Centre in London. Here, start-ups can apply to present their business concept to a captive audience of STM members: academic publishers, learned societies, university presses, and other established players. Moreover, the event will culminate with the Vesalius Innovation Award ceremony, organized by Karger Publishers in collaboration with STM.
We invite you to submit your start-up to present at the fair — for free.
