The Program of the Institute for Human Sciences (IWM) and ERSTE Foundation supports translations from Eastern to Western European languages, or vice versa, or between two Eastern European languages of canonical texts as well as contemporary key works in the Humanities, Social Sciences and in the field of Cultural Studies. Special emphasis is put on translations of relevant works written by East European authors and/or by female scholars. A thematic relation to one of the IWM’s research fields is likewise welcomed.
