Intending to foster a desire to discover works of Argentine literature and thinking abroad, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, International Trade and Worship implemented a Translation support programme to promote and strengthen the publishing of such works in foreign languages.

Some of the main features of PROSUR are:

These works can be chosen from within the different literary genres and they may be by both classic and contemporary Argentine authors, whose themes are representative of the country’s national identity.

The Programme was launched as a result of the commitment made by the Argentine Government to promote the translation of works by Argentine authors so as to encourage their printing in foreign languages and to disseminate our imagery, ideas and values abroad. Since it was created the Programme has awarded more than 1.472 works translated into 49 languages in 51 countries.

Applications for grants will be received from
February 15th
to September 30th.
