Two EUPL lauréates — Tiit Aleksejev (Estonia, 2010) and Ioana Pârvulescu (Estonia, 2013) — will reflect in front of industry professionals as well as members of the public on the European Union Prize for Literature itself, which for the past ten years has awarded emerging literary talents and highlighted the prolific and exuberant diversity in the output of literature across contemporary Europe. 

The event will be followed by a cocktail reception offered by EUPL.

It will take place at the Brussels Book Fair at Place de l'Europe.

Three EUPL Lauréats — Jean Back (Luxembourg, 2010), Gast Groeber (Luxembourg, 2016) and Isabelle Wéry (Belgium, 2013) — discuss the nature of the European Union's support for the book industry at large. They'll delve into how and to what extent the Creative Europe programme supports authors, publishers, booksellers and other industry professionals, and how the situation could develop moving forward. 

The event will take place at the Brussels Book Fair at Place de L'Europe.

In 2018, the European Union Prize for Literature (EUPL) celebrated its 10th anniversary. To mark this special occasion, we organised a virtual and physical journey through the literary Europe, in addition to hosting a writing contest exclusively open to all previous 108 EUPL winners, who won the award between 2009 and 2017.
