Join Us

PETRA-E is an open network. Every every non-academic and academic institution involved in the education and training of literary translators (in a broad sense) can become a member. Although we are first and foremost a European organisation with activities and meetings taking place within Europe, institutions elsewhere in the world are also welcome to join us. The only condition is that institutions must subscribe to the ‘open’ Framework approach as a member of  PETRA-E and use the Framework in their programme. We also welcome institutions that contribute to the education and training of literary translators in other ways (e.g. financially).

What we ask:

  • Members teaching Literary Translation must demonstrate that they refer to the Framework in the description of their course programmes.
  • A membership fee.

What we offer:

  • Opportunities to take part in the shaping of the Framework for Literary Translation
  • Access to resources and articles in the Library on the PETRA-E website
  • Opportunities to take part in future PETRA-E conferences
  • Access to an expanding network of partners for exchange and collaboration.
  • Use of the PETRA-E logo which provides mutual recognition of competences and acquisition levels.
  • Visibility of your courses and programmes for literary translation on our online Literary Translation Course database and via our social media channels.
  • Access to other European networks.
  • Information about European support and a voice to the European commission
