For the 2024-2029 mandate, European publishers call on the European Parliament to uphold a vibrant publishing sector, the largest cultural industry in Europe, ensuring that we can continue to freely publish a wide variety of books, guaranteeing freedom of expression, a plurality of opinions and our democratic values.

Young Publishing Professionals in Brussels – 2nd Edition #YPPiB 2022
The concept
After almost three years of stopping due to the pandemic, YPPiB is back with a new edition. We are ready to bring promising Young Publishing Professionals (YPP) from Europe to Brussels for two days of events and meetings in the capital of Europe. An excellent opportunity for young European publishing professionals to network and to learn together.
What’s our goal? To inspire and engage Young Publishing Professionals (YPP) from as many FEP member countries as possible, involve them in the overall European idea and the defence of industry values, such as freedom of expression and freedom to publish.
To enable networking among the YPPs and with FEP and to motivate them to get involved and contribute to the topics that FEP is working on together with its members. Furthermore, to put YPPs in the position to tie first contacts to Members of Parliament in Brussels and find the next generation of publishing professionals to support national and FEP’s advocacy work in the future.
The event is organised in collaboration with Aldus Up.
