The Special Programme for publishers from Ukraine and neighbouring countries was launched in 2022 as a response to Russia’s full-scale war against Ukraine within the strategic partnership of the International Book Arsenal Festival, the Frankfurter Buchmesse, and the Goethe-Institut Ukraine.
The Programme is an intensive training and networking opportunity for publishers, editors, licence managers and literary agents from Ukraine, Armenia, Azerbaijan, the Czech Republic, Georgia, Moldova, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, and Hungary who will have the chance to participate in the Frankfurter Buchmesse.
This project is one of the professional programs that are the priority for the International Book Arsenal Festival and its activities.
This annual programme is subject to financial support by the German Federal Foreign Office.
