Profile Information

CETAPS (Centre for English, Translation, and Anglo-Portuguese Studies) is a dynamic research unit that brings together 33 researchers and 59 senior and young collaborators predominantly from the Faculty of Arts of the University of Porto and the Faculty of Social Sciences and Humanities of the New University of Lisbon, but also from other Portuguese institutions of higher education.

CETAPS has 6 main research groups. It publishes 5 electronic journals and runs 5 databases. Over the past 7 years, its members have organized 93 conferences, symposia and seminars, presented 508 papers at national and international conferences, edited/published 127 books and book chapters, and published 297 papers in national and international journals.

It has also been involved in MA and PhD programmes, both national and international (eg. Erasmus Mundus Joint Doctorate TEEME – Text & Event in Early Modern Europe and Erasmus Mundus Masters Crossways in Cultural Narratives), and has consistently invested in a considerable number of high impact outreach activities.

Additionally, it offers scholarships and training programmes to young researchers and benefits from the energy and commitment of the Junior Researchers in Anglo-American Studies Platform (JRAAS) to promoting activities connected with the literature, culture and the arts of the anglophone world.

CETAPS’ Digital Laboratory is the result of the R&D+i unit’s commitment to the development of the Digital Humanities.
