WOCMES’ Book Exhibition means to serve as a gathering point for sector professionals interested in subjects involving the southern and eastern shores of the Mediterranean. It aims not just to stimulate interest in books concerning the Middle East and North Africa, but also to become a forum where ideas, experiences and tendencies coexist. University presses and publishing houses are welcome to offer their latest publications in this field.

Essential to WOCMES' Book Exhibition is the Cooperative Book Display. If you are the author of an independently published book or a small press with few Middle East titles, consider promoting your publication in WOCMES' Cooperative Book Display.

Universities that aim to show and share their summer programs at WOCMES’ University Event are also welcome.
