EST Summer School Scholarship
Call for applications
Ever since it was founded in September 1992, EST has focused on drawing attention to new research in Translation Studies, and encouraging young scholars to join the collective endeavour. Since 2003, the Executive Board of EST has sponsored one participant per year attending a summer school of research in translation studies.
This year again, EST will sponsor one EST-member to attend a TS Summer School.
The scholarship will be for 1,000 Euros.
The deadline for submitting applications for the EST Summer School Scholarship will be
15 May 2006.
The applications will be scrutinized by a committee consisting of Alexandra Assis Rosa, Barbara Ahrens, Heidrun Gerzymisch-Arbogast, Gyde Hansen, Miriam Shlesinger and Sonia Vandepitte. They will base their judgement on the application as a whole, taking into account all information asked for: the technical quality of the project, the applicant’s competences and needs, and the relationship between the project and the summer school programme intended to follow.
Students preparing a doctoral dissertation in the field of translation studies are invited to apply. To do so, please fill in the electronic application form (including the attachments) and send it to Sonia Vandepitte –
