LUMEN Proceedings Series is the Proceedings devision of LUMEN Scientific Publishing House , which started its activity in 2010 also within the book publishing activity, but distinct from the one of publishing treatises, courses and monographs, following the numerous requests of conferences organizers to publish the results of their scientific conferences, and it is a book series oriented exclusively towards publication of papers resulted from scientific conferences. 

LUMEN Scientific Publishing House coordinates its activity with LUMEN RESEARCH CENTER IN SOCIAL AND HUMANISTIC SCIENCES (established since 2009), as a private research structure certified by A.N.C.S.

The commercial activity of LUMEN Scientific Publishing House , including book distribution, participation in fairs and exhibitions, organization of its own physical and virtual bookstores or establishment of partnership agreements or book distribution agreements was carried out, starting with 2004, through SC LUMEN Media SRL (which during 2004-2005 was called SC Asistentasociala.ro SRL), and currently it is done through the sales department of SC LUMEN Media S.R.L. and LUMEN Media Ltd.
