Commission will support around 40 projects boosting literary translation to promote diversity and circulation of European literary works

Today, the Commission has published a new call on the Circulation of European Literary Works, under the Creative Europe programme. The aim is to support the transnational circulation and diversity of European literary works of fiction. This will be done by supporting their translation, publication, distribution and promotion. With a budget of €5 million, about 40 projects will be selected for funding. The call is part of Creative Europe's efforts to promote the richness and diversity of European literature and make it more accessible to a wider audience. Eligible candidates can apply until 11 February 2025. More information on the call for applications and the eligibility can be found on the EU Funding & Tenders Portal and here.

Additionally, to further mark its support to the sector, Creative Europe will be present at the 2024 Frankfurt Book Fair, the largest event in the world dedicated to the book and publishing sector, from 16 to 20 October. More information on how Creative Europe supports the book and publishing sector can be found here.
