EST Summer School Scholarship

Call for applications

Ever since it was founded in September 1992, EST has focused on drawing attention to new research in Translation Studies, and encouraging young scholars to join the collective endeavour. Since 2003, the Executive Board of EST has sponsored one participant per year attending a summer school of research in translation studies.

This year again, EST will sponsor one EST-member to attend a TS Summer School.

The scholarship will be for 1,000 Euros. The deadline for submitting applications for the EST Summer School Scholarship will be 15 May 2006. The applications will be scrutinized by a committee consisting of Alexandra Assis Rosa, Barbara Ahrens, Heidrun Gerzymisch-Arbogast, Gyde Hansen, Miriam Shlesinger and Sonia Vandepitte.
