Upcoming Events
We run events, talks and workshops on all aspects of literary translation. Our events are open to the public and, unless stated otherwise, admission is free. Events are usually held at Trinity Centre for Literary and Cultural Translation, 36 Fenian Street, Dublin D02 CH22 (two minutes' walk from Trinity's Lincoln Gate), and occasionally at larger venues on Trinity's campus. Most of our events are run in hybrid format, so you can join from wherever you are in the world.

Our events room is situated on the first floor and, in addition to an internal staircase, there are steps from the street to the front door. There is wheelchair access at other venues that we use on Trinity's campus, such as the Arts building and Trinity Long Room Hub. Please don't hesitate to contact us if you need more details about any specific venue.

2027 French Visiting Translator Fellowship: call for applicationsEvery year, Trinity Centre for Literary and Cultural Translation and the French Embassy in Ireland join forces to host a residency in Ireland for translators who are translating a piece of British or Irish literature into French. Applications are now open for the 2027 Fellowship. These prestigious fellowships are awarded to practising literary translators who are working on the translation of a work of literature by an Irish or British author into French. Fellowships typically last eight weeks and include campus accommodation at Trinity College Dubliln, some living expenses, a contribution towards travel costs, and a dedicated workspace at Trinity Centre for Literary and Cultural Translation. 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, become active members of Trinity Centre for Literary and Cultural Translation, and to use the Centre as their primary 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. At end of their stay, Translation Fellows are invited to showcase their translation work at a public event hosted by Trinity Centre for Literary and Cultural Translation. They may also 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 and travel insurance. Fellows must comply with all vaccination and quarantine requirements set by the Irish Government and/or Trinity College Dublin.If you have any questions about this residency, please email us at littrans@tcd.ie |
