International University and Academic Publishing Forum

Communicating Science: A Shared Commitment

The construction of science is a long-term endeavor that allows us to question and understand our environment, invites us to ponder major issues, analyze various problems, and find answers to countless questions. Access to science fosters critical and transformative capacities within our societies and drives the democratization of knowledge: a right and a common good. University presses are integral to academic communities, and our work in selecting, publishing, and disseminating content positions us as a communication window, a bridge for the transfer and linkage of knowledge. Science belongs to everyone and should serve the creation of a genuine knowledge society. From the perspective of university publishing, we invite you to reflect on how we can approach science with an Ibero-American vision, what joint projects we can build, how to ensure investment in scientific development, what policies can protect it, and how we can reach a broader audience of readers.

Conversation 2: Science in Spanish, Back and Forth

The recognition of scientific work in Spanish, regardless of the origin of its creators, also supports the validation of linguistic diversity in knowledge production. The aim is to foster the development of a more democratic science and to embrace scientific progress as a shared horizon for all of humanity.
