The University of Guadalajara, through a project created by the Environmental Sciences Museum as part of the University’s Cultural Center, and with the support of the Guadalajara International Book Fair, has established the José Emilio Pacheco City and Nature Award. The prize, which will be given for the first time this year, will be dedicated to poetry. The winning author, who must write in Spanish and have at least ten unpublished poems or poems published in the last five years that are related to nature, urban sustainability, socio-ecological harmony and environmental conservation, will be given a purse of US $10,000. The award is dedicated to poet José Emilio Pacheco, whose work explores the duality between cities and nature.
Created by the University of Guadalajara, and with the collaboration of the National Institute for Indigenous Languages, the Culture Ministry, the National Commission for the Development of the Indigenous Cultures and Jalisco’s Department of Education, the American Indigenous Literature Award is granted to enrich, protect and promote the legacy and richness of Mexico’s indigenous peoples through literature in all its forms, and to and acknowledge and further develop the careers and works of indigenous authors. The award, which carries a purse of US $25,000, will be given for the fourth time at the 2016 FIL Guadalajara.

Annual International Publishing Design Forum
From science to aesthetics. Editorial design in scientific dissemination books
In the field of scientific dissemination, editorial design plays a fundamental role. Beyond transmitting information, it seeks to create a visually attractive experience that invites readers to enter into the mysteries of the universe and scientific advances.
This conference will address success stories in the editorial design of popular science books, where aesthetic beauty and scientific rigor have been managed to merge. We will learn about the challenges that designers face when translating complex concepts into graphic representations and how they have been able to overcome them with ingenuity and creativity.
