NEWW workshop "Going European?"
4-5 April 2008
O.G.C., Utrecht
During this two-day workshop, we have discussed a provisional version of a global research programme for our future collaborative project. From an amended and expanded version of this text, entitled "Going European?", a concrete research proposal could be derived, to be used in response to a specific “call for projects”.

The aim of this meeting, held in Utrecht 4 and 5 April 2008, was to discuss our plans for an international collaborative research project in European women’s literary history, to be realized within the online infrastructure, which has been developed over the course of the preceding years. In particular we wanted:
- to hear the opinions of prominent scholars working in our fields - women’s literary and cultural history, translation, press and book history, gender studies – on our plans and on the possibilities and limitations of the digital tools we are using;
- to discuss the desirability as well as the feasibility of this large-scale approach, which should include the whole of Europe (including the colonies) and the period before 1900.
One of the important outcomes is this "mission statement", formulated by Agnese Fidecaro.
