NORLA to meet Nordic colleagues digitally

NORLA’s staff will be attending a seminar with our Nordic colleagues, January 13-14.
The employees at the Nordic literary offices meet annually. This year the meeting should have taken place in Copenhagen, Denmark, but it will instead be held digitally.

We look forward to exchanging experiences and future plans with our colleagues!

The Nordic literary offices all administer The Nordic Council of Ministers’ funding scheme for the translation of literature and drama from one Nordic language to another. Read more about the scheme here.
