-The first meeting of the Management Committee, with members representing the fifteen European countries then involved, was held in Brussels on 1 and 2 October 2009. This collaborative Action will last four years and will be financed by COST (European Cooperation in Science and Technology). This is an excellent opportunity for the NEWW network, which seeks to renew literary historiography from a gender and a transnational perspective. The COST Action will allow the extension of the existing network and the preparation of a large scale research project in which European (and other) scholars (present and future NEWW members) will further collaborate – in the real and virtual world. <br><br>+*'''[http://www.womenwriters.nl/index.php/COST_Action NEWW network generated a COST Action]''' (May 2009)<br><br>
-The aim of this COST Action of course corresponds to the NEWW objectives. It is: to lay the groundwork for a new history of European women’s participation in the literary field of the centuries before 1900. What was these women’s influence? Which active roles did they play as authors and readers in the broadest sense of the word, i.e. including their roles as transcribers, translators, mediators and educators? What happened to them when they fell into the hands of 19th-century canonizers? How is their disappearance from literary history to be explained? <BR><BR>+*15 September 2009, Agnese Fidecaro organised a meeting informing about the Action, Geneva University, Faculty of Letters <br><br>

-Particular attention will be paid to women’s participation in transnational cultural dynamics and to the overlooked role of “smaller”, less internationally known literatures within the larger European context. This interdisciplinary research will lead to a new way of looking at Europe’s literary past – male and female –, which also implies a different perspective on Europe’s present. <br><br>+*Suzan van Dijk interviewed in NWO journal [http://www.nwo.nl/files.nsf/pages/NWOP_7YRESK/$file/Geestesoog%202009-4.pdf ''Geestesoog''] (pp. 6-7, December 2009) <br><br>
