Training: A Creativity Studies Approach.'

The 'Petra-E Network (PETRA = Plateforme Européenne pour la traduction littéraire. The ‘E’ stands for Education) brings together institutions dedicated to teaching and training literary translation under a common framework of professional competences, levels and skills which are necessary to become a literary translator. Its aim is to offer support and collaboration through the exchange of ideas, materials and events to institutions and individuals teaching literary translation or becoming literary translators.' Congratulations to Duncan Large, Professor of European Literature and Translation at the University of East Anglia and the Director of the British Centre for Literary Translation, and his excellent team, for a timely and productive conference.
