Rosie Goldsmith joins the UCL European Institute Advisory Board
23 September 2024
The European Institute is delighted to announce that award-winning journalist Rosie Goldsmith is joining the European Institute’s Advisory Board.
Rosie Goldsmith is widely recognised as a champion of international literature, translation and language learning. Alongside journalism, she is the Founder and Director of the European Literature Network, Editor-in-Chief of The Riveter magazine of European literature in translation and Artistic Director of the European Writers’ Festival.
As Artistic Director of the European Writers’ Festival Rosie Goldsmith has played an integral role in supporting the development of UCL European Institute’s European Literary Map of London Writer in Residency scheme, and enabled a partnership between UCL Arts and Humanities, UCL European Institute and the European Writers’ Festival which created new opportunities for students, and a showcase for UCL academic expertise.
Commenting on the announcement, Rosie Goldsmith said:
“UCL European Institute and the UCL Faculty of Arts & Humanities are invaluable partners in my work promoting the cultures and literatures of Europe in the UK, beginning with the European Writers’ Festival at the British Library in May 2024. As artistic director of the Festival and founder and director of the European Literature Network, I was further delighted to contribute to the selection of the EI’s first Writer in Residence, in connection with the European Literary Map of London, a collaboration which can only flourish in the future. My appointment to the Board is for me both an honour and a responsibility, to continue the advance of intellectual and cultural engagement with European ideas in London and the UK.
Dr Uta Staiger, Executive Director of UCL European Institute, said:
“We are delighted that Rosie Goldsmith has accepted our invitation to join the Board, and have no doubt that Rosie’s wide-ranging expertise, boundless energy and diverse international networks, will help us to maximise the reach and relevance of our arts and culture work. We are so grateful to her for the important contribution she has already made to the European Literary Map of London, and the Writer in Residency scheme in particular, and look forward to building on these collaborations in the future.
