[[Versopolis.com|Versopolis]] is a Europe-wide project that functions as a professional network and a web based platform, respectively, with an aim of connecting European national poetry scenes. These are represented by an annually selected cast of poets and various international poetry & literature festivals, which oblige themselves to invite a set number of selected poets and present them to new audiences. In this way, aspiring and emerging poets reach wider international audience and at the same time get acquainted with poets and literature professionals from other countries. 
 
  
In accordance with a very language specific nature of poetry, Versopolis takes care for the translations of the involved poets' works, thus actually facilitating such a project. Versopolis was launched in [[established::2014]], with the website set up and the first exchanges taking place in 2015.

Versopolis is a Europe-wide project that functions as a professional network and a web-based platform, Versopolis.com, with the aim of connecting the national poetry scenes across Europe. An annually selected group of poets will represent these scenes as they tour to partner festivals and they meet new audiences, authors and literary professionals from other countries. In accordance with the very language specific nature of poetry, Versopolis takes care of the translations of the selected poets' works. Versopolis was launched in 2014, with the website set-up and the first exchanges taking place in 2015.

Besides communicating the works of the selected poets to the festival selectors, Versopolis.com strives to position itself – by means of a web portal – as a node for European poetry.
