EDP Sciences and Tsinghua University Press sign key licensing deal in China
Paris, Tuesday 11th March 2017. EDP Sciences has today signed an important licensing deal with Tsinghua University Press (TUP) part of the prestigious Tsinghua University based in Beijing, China.
The deal will see two of TUP’s chemistry publications translated into French for dissemination into the important community of researchers who live and work in French speaking countries. The titles are: Beautiful Chemistry which was first launched as a digital program and is a winner of Vizzies Visualisation Challenge awarded by the National Science Foundation and Popular Science magazine in the USA, the other is Beautiful Structures and Beautiful Reactions.
“We are deeply honoured to sign an agreement with such a prestigious organization as TUP”, said Jean Marc Quilbé President of EDP Sciences, “this partnership builds on EDP’s continued commitment for building relationships and engaging with Chinese academic institutions. On the one hand we support dissemination of their content outside of China, and on the other, we are increasing the profile of EDP in this important market”.
The President of Tsinghau University Press, Zong Junfeng says, “EDP Sciences attracts us because of their academic background and their pursuit of dissemination of knowledge and scientific information. We sincerely hope that the signing ceremony on March 7th will be a starting point, and both sides can widen and deepen our cooperation in the future, and so fulfill our effort to bring more quality products to the widest possible audience.”
Dr Matthias Wahls the publishing consultant who has supported EDP Sciences with their efforts in China said, “I am honoured to support EDP Sciences in developing their deep interest in Chinese academic publishing affairs. TUP’s Beautiful Chemistry and Beautiful Structures and Beautiful Reactions will be made accessible to the French speaking audience in 2017, therefore bringing first class publications from China to France and other French speaking nations. Exporting one of the first of its academic works into the French language sets a new and very important milestone in China’s ‘Going Global’ initiative.” Dr Wahls continued, “some promising discussions and negotiations with other academic publishers in China are expected to result in additional partnerships for EDP Sciences in the P.R. China”.
