We are pleased to share that ThinkPub has been featured in Livres Hebdo, one of the most influential professional magazines for the publishing sector. The article presents ThinkPub as a collaborative European initiative bringing together a network of partners from multiple countries to support innovation, skills development, and knowledge exchange across the contemporary publishing ecosystem.
The feature focuses in particular on a new series of free professional training sessions currently being implemented by the European Digital Reading Lab (EDRLab) as part of the wider ThinkPub framework. These trainings respond to the accelerating digital transformation of the book sector and aim to strengthen competencies among publishing professionals, especially those working in smaller organisations or without dedicated digital departments. By addressing topics such as the cognitive foundations of digital reading, visual and multimedia storytelling formats, accessibility standards, editorial technologies, and the impact of artificial intelligence, the programme supports the sector in navigating technological change in a strategic and informed way.
The article notes that the initiative has already attracted strong interest from professionals, with the first session held in Bordeaux reaching full capacity. Further sessions are scheduled in Brussels and other locations, demonstrating the project’s transnational scope and its commitment to building shared expertise across European publishing markets. All sessions are recorded and subtitled in English to ensure long-term accessibility and integration into ThinkPub’s growing digital toolkit for the publishing community.
Funded by the Creative Europe programme, ThinkPub brings together a consortium of partners from across Europe to explore new models, tools, and methodologies for the future of publishing. The mention in Livres Hebdo underscores the project’s growing visibility and relevance within international professional discourse, highlighting its role as a platform that not only researches innovation but actively implements it through concrete training, resources, and collaborative exchange.
