Grants supporting publication of books in translation: Czech Republic and EU

Fojtík Michal
del Mar Martín María

Grant-based support of literary translation and book publishing is a standard instrument of Czech and European cultural policy. How do grants from the Ministry of Culture of the Czech Republic in support of translation of Czech literature abroad work? What opportunities does the Creative Europe programme offer publishers and translators, and what projects does it support? The discussion will introduce both funding systems, highlight their specificities and differences between them, and give practical information on how they can contribute to the circulation of literature internationally.
