About the Trustees
Trustees are responsible for the conduct of EUP’s business. They are appointed by the University Court and are normally subject to re-appointment on a triennial basis.
The Board of Trustees is advised by at least three Non-Executive Directors, all of whom have publishing experience in a senior role. Since 2016, it delegates certain matters of business to its Board of Management.
Trustees meet four times a year with the Board of Management and review financial reports, budgets, publishing and title reports and papers on key issues of policy or strategy. They have a dual reporting line to the University; through the Academic Policy Committee to the Senate and through Corporate Services to The University Court.
EUP is committed to the values of equality, diversity, inclusion and accessibility, and welcomes applications from all sections of the community. Find out more about EUP.
If you would like to find out more about the role of Trustee or Chair of the Trustees, please contact the current Chair of the Board of Trustees, Professor Ewen Cameron, or his colleague Professor Alvin Jackson.
If you would like to apply, please submit a letter, outlining why you would like to become a Trustee, and a brief CV to Professor Ewen Cameron by 31 March 2022. Interviews may be held in April, depending on the number of applications received.
