SHORT DESCRIPTION As of 2015 the METE research group has been working with the aim of building a network of archives of important European cultural and linguistic mediators.  The group, coordinated by prof. Gabriella Catalano, includes scholars of Literature and translation from the University of Rome “Tor Vergata”, but also colleagues from other disciplines (Luigi Laura, Engineering) and Universities (prof. Bianca Sulpasso from the university of Macerata), as well as PhD students, and graduate and undergraduate students.

The group has so-far organized seminars and conferences in collaboration with the Central National Library in Rome, under an agreement aimed at enhancing the value of some of the archival collections owned by the library.
