In June 2025, the International Publishers’ Meeting (Encontro Internacional de Editores) took place in Lisbon, gathering thirteen publishing sector experts from Armenia, Czechia, Denmark, France, Ireland, Poland, Romania, Serbia, Slovenia and Spain. The event, organised by the Creative Europe Desk (CED) Portugal and the Portuguese Trade and Investment Agency (AICEP), was dedicated to building publishing and institutional partnerships, encouraging translation and circulation of literary works, as well as increasing access to national and European funding for translation and publishing projects. Among the participants was Mitja Ličen, the director of Goga Publishing House, with whom we talked about his impressions, findings and opportunities from the meeting, about the role of Goga in connecting the Balkans with the larger international literary space and about the common practices of small European publishers.

0.1 Institute
updated 5 hours ago
The 0.1 Institute, founded in 2016, is a creative and conceptual platform for research into and the production of contemporary art practice and theory, with a particular focus on movement as it pertains to the performing (dance, puppetry, physical theatre) and non-performing (film, visual arts, music, intermedia) arts.
Concept
While at first glance it retains all the features of a contemporary dance company, particularly for an audience perhaps unaware of the institute's theoretical underpinnings, the professional profiles of the three main players show the wider perspectives they are keen to bring to movement: Jernej Bizjak is a contemporary dancer, choreographer and teacher; Sara Živkovič Kranjc, a scriptwriter and producer; and Klemen Janežič, an actor and director. The institute's commitment to research and to an interdisciplinary approach is exemplified by Za Ludwiga (For Ludwig), an ongoing project developed in Denmark to coincide with the 250th anniversary of Beethoven's birth in 2020.
