Grenoble Sciences Grenoble Sciences pursues a triple aim: to publish works responding to a clearly defined project, with no curriculum or
vogue constraints, to guarantee the selected titles’ scientific and pedagogical qualities, to propose books at an affordable price to the widest scope of readers.
Each project is selected with the help of anonymous referees, followed by an average one-year interaction between the authors and a Readership Committee, whose members’ names figure in the front pages of the book. Grenoble Sciences then signs a co-publishing agreement with the most adequate publisher.
