IDA Program for Translation Support
The Embassy of Uruguay in Sweden is pleased to inform that Uruguay XXI and the Ministry of Education and Culture are launching a public call to participate in the IDA Program for Translation Support, aimed at promoting the export of Uruguayan literature by supporting the publishing industry through translation.
To achieve this goal, three lines of non-reimbursable funding have been established:
A. Support for the translation of literary works of any genre: intended for foreign companies duly established in their countries.
B. Support for translation into English of catalogs and excerpts/chapters of literary works: intended for national companies duly established in Uruguay.
C. Support for the production of audiobooks: intended for national companies duly established in Uruguay.
The program has a total fund of USD 18,500 (eighteen thousand five hundred U.S. dollars), from which bank transfer fees to foreign countries will be deducted.
Proposals submitted under Line A may receive funding of up to USD 2,500 per work.
This program represents an excellent opportunity to further promote Uruguayan literature and creativity around the world.
