Time flies! It’s hard to believe that it has been over two years since we launched the EUTERPE Project with an inspiring Kick-Off Meeting in Vienna. Looking back, that event was the start of an incredible journey—one that has since fostered groundbreaking research, interdisciplinary collaboration, and new insights into the power of storytelling.
A Look Back at the Kick-Off in Vienna
In those early days, our team of researchers, scholars, and doctoral candidates gathered in Vienna, excited to embark on this ambitious, EU-funded project under Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions. The meeting set the foundation for EUTERPE’s mission: to explore narrative practices, gender perspectives, and transnational storytelling.
We still remember the energy in the room as we:
🔹 Outlined the project’s vision and goals, defining how we would investigate the role of storytelling in shaping cultures and identities.
🔹 Laid the groundwork for collaboration, ensuring our researchers had the resources and connections to thrive.
🔹 Forged lasting academic partnerships, creating a strong, supportive network across Europe.
🔹 Explored Vienna’s literary and cultural heritage, finding inspiration in the city’s history of storytelling and creativity.
How Far We’ve Come!
Since that first meeting, the EUTERPE Project has flourished:
✅ Doctoral researchers have made incredible progress, diving deep into the intersections of narrative, gender, and translation.
✅ Workshops, conferences, and training schools have expanded our discussions and brought fresh perspectives.
✅ New collaborations and publications have emerged, helping to shape the future of interdisciplinary research.
Looking Ahead
As we reflect on the past two years and beyond, we’re grateful for the passion, dedication, and innovation that have driven this project forward. While the Vienna Kick-Off was the beginning, we know that EUTERPE’s impact will continue to grow in the years to come.
Here’s to the journey so far—and to everything still ahead! 🚀
