Sciences to China Science Publishing & Media Ltd. (Science Press Ltd.) – a new partnership</h2> <div class="flexme flexme-figure"> <figure> <img src="/images/stories/edp/sp-edps_logo_200.png" alt="Logo CSPM EDP""> </figure> <div> <p> EDP Sciences was founded by eminent scientists (including Marie Curie and Paul Langevin) and learned societies in 1920. On 13th November 2019 the sale of EDP Sciences to China Science Publishing & Media Ltd. (Science Press) was finalised. </p> </div> </div> <p> Earlier that year, EDP Sciences’ former co-owners, Société Française de Physique, Société Chimique de France, Société Française d’Optique and Société de Mathématiques Appliquées et Industrielles, decided to sell their interests in EDP Sciences to Science Press, the flagship of China’s sci-tech publishing industry. Science Press is majority-owned by the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), the world’s largest research organisation and a prestigious learned society. </p> <p> EDP Sciences has therefore always been, and continues to be, the publishing partner of scientific communities. </p> <p> “Science Press is keen to foster international cooperation and collaboration with scientists around the world, to advance science and address global challenges. Our new partnership with EDP Sciences is an important step on this path and will allow us to maximise potential and optimise resources,” Lin Peng, President, Science Press. </p> <p> <a href="https://www.edpsciences.org/en/news-highlights/1964-edp-sciences-joins-forces-with-chinese-academy-of-sciences-and-its-publisher-science-press-ltd" target="_blank">Find out more</a> </p> <p> <a href="/images/stories/edp/EDP-leaflet-zh.pdf"><img src="/images/stories/edp/EDP-leaflet-zh_thumbnail.png" style="border: solid 1px #eee;" alt="""></a>   An introduction to EDP Sciences in Chinese (PDF) - <a href="/images/stories/edp/EDP-leaflet-zh.pdf" target="_blank"> 出版社中文介绍</a> </p> </div> </div> <div class="wrap"> </div> </main> <footer> <div class="wrap"> <ul class="nav menu mod-list"> <li class="item-195 deeper parent"><span class="nav-header ">Information</span> <ul class="nav-child unstyled small"><li class="item-385"><a href="/en/open-access" >Open Access</a></li></ul></li><li class="item-189"><a href="/en/faq" >FAQ</a></li><li class="item-191"><a href="/en/contact-us" >Contact Us</a></li><li class="item-193"><a href="/en/advertising" >Advertising</a></li><li class="item-196"><a href="/en/legal-notice" >Legal Notice</a></li><li class="item-316"><a href="/en/privacy-policy" >Privacy policy</a></li><li class="item-358"><a href="/en/accessibility" >Accessibility</a></li><li class="item-236"><a href="/en/sitemap" >Sitemap</a></li></ul> <div class="custom" > <h2>Websites</h2> <ul> <li><a href="/">EDP Sciences</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.edp-open.org/" target="_blank">EDP Open</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.webofconferences.org/" target="_blank">Web of Conferences</a></li> <li><a href="https://laboutique.edpsciences.fr/" target="_blank">La boutique EDP Sciences</a></li> <li><a href="https://laboutique.edpsciences.fr/langue/2/anglais" target="_blank">EDP Sciences bookstore</a></li> <li><a href="/en/other-websites">Other Websites</a></li> </ul></div> <div class="custom social" > <div> <h4>Connect with us: </h4> <ul class="ico-social"> <li><a class="linkedin" title="Follow us on LinkedIn" target="_blank" href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/edp-sciences"></a></li> <li><a class="bluesky" title="Follow us on Bluesky" target="_blank" href="https://bsky.app/profile/edpsciences.bsky.social"></a></li> <li><a class="mastodon" title="Follow us on Mastodon" target="_blank" rel="me" href="https://masto.ai/@EDPSciences"></a></li> <li><a class="wechat" title="Connect with us on WeChat" target="_blank" href="https://www.edpsciences.org/en/news-highlights/2100-follow-and-connect-with-edp-sciences-on-wechat"></a></li> <li><a class="rss" title="Access our RSS feeds" target="_blank" href="http://publications.edpsciences.org/component/rsslist/?task=list"></a></li> </ul> <div class="logo"> <a href="/" title="EDP Sciences homepage"><img src="/templates/edp2/images/logo_edp_fff.png" alt="EDP Sciences Publishing partner of the scientific communities"></a> </div> </div></div> </div> <div class="wrap"> <div class="custom" > <div id="google_translate_element"></div> <script type="text/javascript"> function googleTranslateElementInit() { new google.translate.TranslateElement({pageLanguage: 'en'}, 'google_translate_element');
