VEDA, the publishing house of the Slovak Academy of Sciences, derives its origins from the editorial workplace of the Slovak Academy of Sciences and Arts (1942). In 1953 it was affiliated to the publishing house of the Slovak Academy of Sciences as an active SAS publishing house which centred on periodic and aperiodic scientific literature.

The publishing house currently caters to the publication needs across the entire Slovak scientific community. It enriches the Slovak and foreign book market with scientific, popular scientific and educational literature that attracts sophisticated readers. All professional titles from our publishers are reviewed which guarantees the quality of their content.
