New Publications Site Launched
We are thrilled to announce the launch of our new publications site: Inter-Disciplinary Press. All publications will shortly removed from this site and ported over to the new site which will be dedicated to interdisciplinary publishing of all varieties.

New Projects Planned for Hong Kong and North America
2012 will see us expand our footprint to take in Hong Kong and North America. Initially scheduled as two sets of 4 projects in each location, there will be a research-focused orientation to the activities which will take place. These will be linked to a progressive publications plan consisting of a new 'Handbook' style series designed to bring together the best in interdisciplinary collaboration.
