Pro Helvetia also supports residencies for foreign translators working on a work of a Swiss writer in these three destinations: Translation House Looren (CH, https://www.looren.net/), Collège International des Traducteurs Littéraires CITL in Arles (F, http://www.atlas-citl.org/conditions-de-sejour/) and Europäisches Übersetzer-Kollegium Straelen (D, http://www.euk-straelen.de/english-information/residenciesgrants/). Applications must be sent directly to the Residency. If you need more information, please contact Pro Helvetia.

Furthermore, Pro Helvetia offers the possibility for young talented translators working on a Swiss book, to be accompanied by a more experienced translator.
