Between 2 and 4 October 2024, CEATL, the European Council of Literary Translators’ Associations, organised the first-ever European Conference on Literary Translation, as part of the programming in Strasbourg as UNESCO’s World Book Capital for 2024.
FIT and FIT Europe were partners in the event, and Sandra Mouton, from FIT Europe, and Jan Naess, from FIT Council and the FIT Standing Committee for Translation for Publishing Houses and Copyright, co-presented a 15-minute carte blanche to FIT on the theme ‘Translating the World’.
The conference was streamed live from the European Parliament, with 1,500 registered attendees from all over the world. The videos are now visible in three languages (English, French, German) on CEATL’s website, along with other information on the conference (detailed programme, speaker bios, etc.).
