Come to Your Senses โ€“ a new Maastricht University Press open access book

Maastricht University Press

Yesterday, I had the pleasure of attending the launch of "Come to Your Senses - A Senses-based Learning Guide," a publication we proudly released in open access with Maastricht University Press, alongside the print edition published by nai010 publishers. It was an excellent collaboration.


This unique book (trigger alert: illustrated book ๐Ÿ˜Š), edited by Emilie Sitzia, Elene Kadagidze, and Tรขnia Alexandra Cardoso, with contributions from numerous academics at Maastricht University, is both an academic and an educational work. But also an art book and even a coffee table book.

The event itself was lively and engaging: not only a celebration with a book, a drink, and a bite to eat, but also an invitation to participate in an experiment connected to the book's themes.

I was glad to meet many familiar faces and to receive two copies of the physical edition for the Maastricht University Library collection. This way, readers can both access the open-access version online and experience the tangible book on our shelves.
