The Fellowships last eight weeks, accommodation on campus and a workspace at Trinity Centre for Literary and Cultural Translation are provided. A contribution of up to €300 is available towards travel costs to/from Dublin. Fellows have access to the library of Trinity College Dublin, and to a wide range of facilities at the university, contact with members of the academic staff, and free attendance at a range of events across the university.

During their residency, Translation Fellows are asked to devote themselves to their work as literary translators, to become active members of the Trinity Centre for Literary and Cultural Translation, and to use the Centre as their main work base. They interact with the wider College community, take part in public events organised by Trinity Centre for Literary and Cultural Translation and the French Embassy, and join classes with post-graduate students in literary translation.

Near the end of their stay, Translation Fellows may be invited to showcase their translation work at a public event hosted by Trinity Centre for Literary and Cultural Translation. There is also an option to return to Dublin to launch the publication of their book at the Trinity Centre for Literary and Cultural Translation.

Translation Fellows are responsible for obtaining any necessary documents/visas to come to Ireland, and for obtaining international health insurance.
