Academic Publishing & Specialist Information
Science and education are the cogs that help drive our progress and our thinking.
They define our future, show us our past and analyse our present. To put it another way, science and education are columns supporting our society. In Hall 4.2 of the Frankfurt Book Fair you can see the specialist media, technology and information systems that will form the foundations of these columns in the future.
