Our history:

IOS Press and Ohmsha (Tokyo, Japan) re-established the Akademische Verlagsgesellschaft Aka GmbH in Berlin, Germany, which publishes books and journals in German. The first book appeared in 1997, the first journal in 1998. IOS Press is responsible for the marketing of the English language part of the Aka list.

In 1998 a joint venture between Science Press (Beijing, China), Ohmsha and IOS Press was established in Beijing, reflecting the ever-increasing importance of scientific research being conducted in China. This company publishes for the Chinese market and does typesetting work in world languages.

As of 1998, IOS Press became the publisher for the NATO Advanced Study Institutes and Partnership subseries publications in the subject disciplines of Life and Behavioural Sciences and Computer & Systems Sciences. In 2005, NATO’s Security through Science Program was launched, resulting in two new book series for IOS Press; Information and Communication and Human and Societal Dynamics.

In October 2005, IOS Press took over Delft University Press, a well-established Dutch university publishing house. The complete list of Delft University Press, which was built up by the scientific publishing house of the TU Delft over 30 years, now consists of around 1000 titles.
