Priorities and funded actions

Objectives
* To support cultural and linguistic diversity in the EU and in countries participating in the Culture Sub-programme;
* To strengthen the transnational circulation and diversity of European literary works in the long term;
* To improve access to European literary works in Europe and beyond and reach new audiences

Priorities
* To support the promotion of European translated literature;
* To encourage the translations from lesser used languages into English, German, French and Spanish (Castilian) as these contribute to a wider circulation of the works;
* To encourage the translation of less represented genres such as works for young public (children, adolescents and young adult), comics/graphic novels, short stories or poetry;
* To encourage the appropriate use of digital technologies in both the distribution and promotion of the works;
* To encourage the translation and promotion of books which have won the EU Prize for Literature
* To increase the visibility of translators. For that reason, publishers will be required to include a biography of the translators in each translated book

Among financed actions
* Translation, publication, distribution and promotion of a package of works of fiction with a high literary value;
* As a complement to the package, translation of excerpts of works of fiction from the catalogues of publishers and publishing houses to help foster the selling of rights either within Europe or beyond;
* Special events and marketing/distribution organised for the promotion of the translated works of fiction in the EU and outside the EU, including digital promotion tools and promotion of authors at book fairs and literary festivals
