RESEARCH QUESTIONS & OBJECTIVES
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 still lacks 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.
