Cal for applications for the „Residences for Trainee Translatorsˮ Scholarships to be held in 2024

The Romanian Cultural Institute is launching a call for applications to offer in 2024 five scholarships for translators-in-training residencies.

We invite interested candidates to send their application files by 26.03.2024, 16.00 h, Romanian time, to the e-mail address burse@icr.ro.

The residency program aims to train a new generation of translators of Romanian literature in as many foreign languages as possible, as well as a closer collaboration with professional translators. In this regard, the selected candidates are offered the opportunity to spend a period in Romania that will allow them to get to know Romanian literature and the environment that defines it firsthand. The selection of files is made by an independent commission of specialists (university professors of foreign languages), based on the received application files.

5 (five) scholarships of 2,000 Euro/person/scholarship are awarded, ensuring for the scholarship holders a number of three courses per week, with mandatory attendance, with invited specialists in three important fields that the five scholarship holders will attend on duration of the internship: Introduction to the Romanian language - notions of grammar and syntax; Introduction to Romanian literature and translation seminars. This program has in mind the provision of accommodation for the five scholarship holders for the entire duration of the internship within the Palatele Brâncovenești complex in Mogoșoaia, as well as the provision of transport for courses between Mogoșoaia - Bucharest and round-trip transfer from the airport to Mogoșoaia.

Duration of residencies: 5 weeks;

The fields for which the evaluation and selection are organized: translations;
