Founded in 1965, the Association of Canadian University Presses (ACUP)/Association des presses universitaires canadiennes (APUC) has played a significant role in promoting Canadian scholarly publishing and supporting the dissemination of academic research and scholarship in Canada.

As the unified voice of both French- and English-language academic publishing in Canada, ACUP is dedicated to upholding excellence in Canadian research and scholarship. They publish more than 600 titles each year across the multitude of subjects for which university press publishing is valued, and with particular strengths in topics of global importance such as indigenous studies, culture and immigration, and environmental issues. They actively collaborate with all stakeholders in the scholarly arena to ensure a harmonious growth of the scholarly book market. At the heart of their mission is the dedication to facilitate and champion the widest possible dissemination of Canadian research and scholarship, both domestically and on the global stage.
