Why become a member of CEATL
CEATL does not exist independently from its members: its strength as an umbrella organisation completely depends on the national associations and their representatives. The more active members it has, the more effective CEATL can be in pursuing its two objectives, the exchange of information and the defense of literary translation in a European context.
Types of membership
CEATL distinguishes two types of member associations:
- Active members. Any literary translators’ association registered and based in a European country may be admitted to the association as an active member (entitled to vote at the annual general meeting).
- Associate members. The annual general meeting may permit literary translators’ associations in non-European countries and pan-European or international organisations involved in literary translation to join the association as associate members (not entitled to vote).
Obligations
Membership of CEATL does not entail any obligations, except for paying the membership fee (400 € in 2011, reduced fee can be applied for) and respecting the articles of association and the internal regulations.
How to apply
Applications (in English or French) for active or associate membership must be sent to the board by e-mail (info%40ceatl%2Eeu), accompanied by documentary evidence of the candidate association’s representativeness:
- relevant extracts from the articles of association
- a short overview of the organisation (structure, budget, number of members, links to other organisations etc.)
- a list of sample activities
The annual general meeting has sole discretion in granting or refusing applications. It does not have to explain its decision.
Deadline
The next deadline for membership applications is 1 April, 2012.
