Dear TRACE/CLIV members,
Following the eminent success of our first event in 2024, we are delighted to be able to inform you of the upcoming second annual TRACE/CLIV Research Day: ‘Exploring New Horizons,’ to take place on Friday 23rd May 2025. As was the case last year, 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 invite speakers of all levels — whether PhD, postdoc, or ZAP — to share their new ideas or research interests in the form of a 10-minute presentation, with another 10 minutes for questions and discussion. This is the perfect, friendly environment in which to share your plans, concepts, hopes, and even the difficulties that you might be facing in their realisation. All kinds of works-in-progress are welcome, on topics such as translation, literature, cultural transfer, from a national, international or transnational perspective.
Practicalities:
The Research Day will take place in Ghent (location Mercator A., A.104.) on Friday 23rd May 2025 from 13.00 (tentatively) to 18.00, with a coffee break. The afternoon will end with a reception.
Please confirm your attendance and/or talk proposal by 15 March 2024 using the attached Microsoft Forms link, with which you can submit your name, affiliation, and, if presenting, the title of your paper — no abstract required! Talk slots are rather limited, so please do not hesitate to respond swiftly. However, there are plenty of places for attendees, so come in great numbers and with great enthusiasm!

Looking forward to your attendance in May,
