The aim of EUTERPE (European Literatures and Gender in Transnational Perspective) is to offer an innovative approach to rethinkingEuropean cultural production in the light of complex social and political negotiations that are shaping European spaces and identitiesat present. EUTERPE intends to do that by bringing together gender and transnational perspectives within an interdisciplinaryapproach to literary and cultural studies. EUTERPE proposes to train and supervise 9 ESRs in interdisciplinary, transnational, genderfocused literary studies. The research is organized into 8 WPs within four main areas: 1. Transnational women's literature and itstravels: points of entry and pathways (WP 1, WP2); 2. Translational genres: crossing borders in gender, form, space, and identity (WP 3,WP4); 3. Transnational women intellectuals, multilingualism and decolonising European pedagogies (WP 5, WP6); 4. Transnationalliterature and cultural production: intermediality as a form of translation (WP7, WP8). The ESRs' academic training will include twosupervisors from cooperating universities, a compulsory secondment period, and an industrial internship with an Associated Partnerorganization to support bespoke employability enhancement. Major impact outputs of the project: 9 PhD theses; a co-produced opensource Dictionary of Transnational Women's Literature in Europe with key concepts and bio-bibliographic entries on leadingrepresentatives of the field; and a Digital Catalogue and Podcast Library, which will make accessible all relevant material collectedduring the creation of the Dictionary. As a complex project, which brings together research, training, and open access publications ofinnovative and long-lasting value, EUTERPE will have strong influence in the intersecting fields of literary and gender studies, as wellas in the connecting fields of transnational studies, translation studies, migration studies and European studies.
