Residencies for writers and translators at the International Writers' and Translators' Center of Rhodes

The International Writers' and Translators' Center of Rhodes (IWTCR) was established in 1996 by the Municipality of Rhodes with the aim of creating a forum for intellectuals, writers and translators. Since its foundation, the Center has run a program of residencies for writers and translators and, since 2008, for researchers and artists from all over the world.
