Deadline: 31 May 2025
The House of Human Sciences Foundation is requesting proposals to promote the translation of significant German-language contributions in the humanities and social sciences into French.
The translation program aims to make important scholarly works from German-speaking countries accessible to a French-speaking audience.
The program seeks monographs (up to 800,000 characters) that have had a significant impact on intellectual thought and academic debate in German-speaking countries in recent years or offer innovative and original responses to current issues. The works should appeal to a broad, intellectually curious readership; purely qualification-based works (such as PhD theses) are excluded.
Eligibility Criteria
- Eligible to submit proposals are academic publishers, as well as university professors or researchers in comparable positions from German-speaking countries and France.
Application Requirements
- In addition to the proposed book, the application should include the following:
- A summary of up to one page,
- At least one academic reference from a university professor, addressing the scholarly relevance of the publication, its potential reception by the audience, and its significance in current societal debates (maximum of three pages),
- A brief CV of the author.
