ESLT Summer School 2018 - Training the Teacher of Literary Translation

Voor vertalers in of uit het Nederlands die worden toegelaten, stelt het ELV een beurs beschikbaar van € 250 euro. Die zal worden verrekend met het inschrijfgeld, dat daardoor niet € 350 wordt, maar € 100. Voor meer informatie zie de aankondiging hieronder (in het Engels).
