The Press has been shortlisted for Academic, Educational and Professional Publisher of the Year at the British Book Awards.
Cambridge University Press has been shortlisted for Academic, Educational and Professional Publisher of the Year at the British Book Awards.
It is the second year in a row that the Press has been in the running for the prestigious award, with the judges impressed by its response to the pandemic.
Their citation reads: The UK’s oldest publisher responded in very modern ways to the pandemic, providing free access to many textbooks, worksheets and digital platforms. A new Higher Education platform, a ‘Supporting Every Teacher’ campaign and practical advice for remote teaching and learning were all valued by academics and students. Beyond Covid it launched the major new ‘Cambridge Shakespeare,’ platform, accelerated transitions to Open Access models and set the sector’s standards on big issues like diversity and green practice, winning the first ever Sustainability Award at the IPG’s Independent Publishing Awards.
The Press is up against five other publishers for the award, with the winner announced at an online ceremony, which is being held on 13th May from 4-7pm.
