To continue the old, to shape the new. To support the advancement of science with expert solutions – this is what we strive for, this is the new great adventure of the former publishers.

In the Service of Science

As Hungary's leading scientific publisher, our goal is to make science easily accessible to the widest possible audience. Through traditional editorial care and flexible technology, we quickly and efficiently deliver our authors' manuscripts to our readers, ensuring broader distribution and greater visibility for the works than ever before – both in digital and, if desired, printed formats.

Accessible Science

We believe that the dissemination and acquisition of knowledge is in our common interest, and that science can bring significant positive change to the lives of both individuals and communities. We are proud to partner with most domestic higher education institutions and to facilitate the training of future professionals, scientists, researchers, educators, and leaders through our publications.

Our smart library is a reliable source of knowledge in an age of hard-to-verify facts and the information noise of the internet.

We cannot be satisfied with just having rethought academic publishing. We must ask ourselves, our authors, and our readers again and again: how can we do it even better? This is what drives us forward.
