Shortly after graduating in law and political science from the Autonomous University of Madrid, he headed to the Balkans thanks to various jobs and scholarships. If anything characterizes him, it is exceptional versatility, which is reflected in the quality of his work. In addition to his professorial engagement in various fields and universities, he is also the editor of Balkania (balkania.es), which studies the Balkans and is a space where Balkanologists from different countries meet. He also translates and writes for several Spanish media.

MARIE VAN EFFENTERRE (France)

She is a member of the Association of Literary Translators of France and a co-founder and member of N8 – a team of translators in the field of social sciences.

The Translation in Motion project aims to increase and enrich the production of translations of contemporary European literature, especially between the languages ​​of the Western Balkans and the member states of the European Union. Recognizing the importance of the influence and motivation of literary translators in the role of ambassadors of cultural dialogue, this program enables their international mobility and professional development. Residences provide translators with the opportunity for focused creative work on literary translation in the environment of the language from which they are translating. In addition, they facilitate the research necessary to work on translation and enable networking with local literary organizations and publishers, as well as presenting the translator and his or her work to a local audience.

The Translation in Motion project is supported by the European Union’s Creative Europe program.
