ANNOUNCEMENT

 

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. As from 2008, CETRA will sponsor another young scholar's participa­tion in the CETRA research seminar.

 

This year, EST and CETRA will sponsor two EST-members to attend a TS Summer School.

 

The scholarships will be for 1,000 Euros each.

 

The deadline for submitting applications for the two Summer School Scholarships is

 

1 May 2008.

 

The applications will be scrutinized by a committee consisting of Alexandra Assis Rosa, Barbara Ahrens, Birgitta Englund-Dimitrova, Heidrun Gerzymisch-Arbogast, Gyde Hansen, Christiane Nord. Franz Pöchhacker, Sonia Vandepitte. They will base their judgement on the application as a whole, taking into account all information asked for: the technical quality of the project, the applicant’s competences and needs, and the relationship between the project and the summer school programme intended to follow.

To do so, please fill in the electronic application form (including the attachments) and send it to Christiane Nord – cn@christiane-nord.de.
