Committed to building up an archive on the transnational turn in literature and arts, the collection thus features research on a wide range of issues that challenge the national container model that has dominated literary history, museum practices and art curatorship since the 19th century.
The range of article types offered by Open Research Europe—including reviews, essays, research articles, open letters and more—facilitates the publication and sharing of all research stemming from Horizon 2020, Horizon Europe and COST Action grants as openly and quickly as possible.
