Dear TRACE/CLIV members,
As you are aware, circumstances recently obliged us to postpone the date of our ‘TRACE/CLIV Research Day no. 2: Exploring New Horizons’, which had been previously scheduled for the afternoon of the 23rd of May 2025. It brings us great pleasure to announce that a new date has been decided upon: the Research Day will now take place on Friday October 3rd, 2025. This Research Day serves primarily to enable better communication about research between the ZAP, postdocs, and PhDs on a relatively informal and amicable basis: concomitantly, it also serves to develop the friendly connections between the TRACE and CLIV research groups.
We are currently finalizing our program, and it promises to be an afternoon filled with 10-minute talks on topics such as translation, literature, cultural transfer, from a national, international, or transnational perspective. This year we have the honor to finish our day with a presentation by Prof. Em. Guy Rooryck: “Ruses et espiègleries de la traduction : le Canon van Vlaanderen en français”. We hope to welcome you!
Practicalities:
The Research Day will take place in Ghent (location Mercator A., A.104.) on Friday 3rd October 2025 from 13.00 (tentatively) to 18.00, with a coffee break. The afternoon will end with a reception.
We invite you to confirm your attendance by 15 September 2025 using the attached link (Register here: https://forms.cloud.microsoft/e/jTcvynT6Ju), with which you can submit your name, affiliation and if you will join the reception. There are plenty of spots for attendees, so come in great numbers and with great enthusiasm!
With all our best wishes,
The TRACE team,
Jo De Brie, Dominic Bentley-Hussey, Anna Namestnikov, France Schils, Oliwia Napierala, Prof. Lieve Jooken, Prof. Piet Van Poucke, & Prof. Brecht de Groote.
