ELMCIP is a 3-year collaborative research project running from June 2010-2013 and a part of the HERA Joint Research Project framework: 'Humanities as a Source of Creativity and Innovation'

ELMCIP involves seven European research partners and one non-academic partner investigating:

How creative communities of practitioners form within a transnational and transcultural context in a globalized and distributed communication environment

PROJECT PARTNERS

In the USA, the ELO (Electronic Literature Organization) functions as a hub for practictioners and theoreticians of electronic literature.

While Europe is hosting key creative, theoretical and scholarly practitioners, events and communities of electronic literature – it has lacked a shared research infrastructure.

ELMCIP seeks to gather the multitude of practices and theories in electronic literature, existing in a multi-linguistic and multicultural Europe, in order to create a shared archive and research network.
