Translators as explorers
We are supporting translators from all over Europe in their research, offering them the opportunity to discover new voices and to build trusting relationships with publishers. Between 2024 and 2026, more than 100 translators will complete scouting residencies.
In 2024, 46 laureates completed 94 weeks of exploratory residencies with translators working across 22 European languages.
In 2025, the 42 successful candidates completed 93 weeks of exploratory residencies with translators working across 24 European languages.
In 2026, the last year of the project, 43 translators will complete 95 weeks of residencies, working in 25 languages. They will complete their residencies across 16 countries.
Throughout their residencies, the participants work on the production of synopsis and translation excerpts of the books they discover.
