As part of activities promoting its academic publications, the University Press is both an organiser and participant of book-related events targeting broad potential audiences, with the aim of popularising science and humanities, reading, conveying a positive message about the University Press activities and ultimately, thanks to its contribution to the cultural life of the city of Poznań, also promoting our university.
