The Institute promotes the publication in other languages of Catalan literary and scholarly works—with a special emphasis on the classics—by providing grant support to the publishers of those translated works.
It aims to increase the visibility of Catalan authors and works within the international setting through their participation in literary and cultural exchanges, and by assuring the presence of Catalan literature at international book fairs.
It provides support to literary translators from the Catalan language with the aim of encouraging quality translations, ongoing training and recognition for their work. It facilitates dialogue and interaction among researchers and scholars in the Catalan language and their foreign counterparts, to promote a wideranging international exchange of ideas.
It also encourages a broad outreach of Catalan cultural and scholarly journals through contact and interaction with similar publications from other countries.
