Description
The Fund for Central and East European Book Projects (CEEBP) was established in Amsterdam in 1992 under the auspices of the European Cultural Foundation. Its aim is to enhance the free flow of thought and information across borders, by supporting quality publishing in Central and Eastern Europe.
CEEBP supports the publication and dissemination of high-quality books in the field of literature and the humanities, primarily translations into and between the languages of Central and Eastern Europe.
In addition, the Fund assists publishers and booksellers in introducing professional and structural improvements.
To achieve its aims, CEEBP
- awards grants to publishers of quality books
- provides grants for quality translations into and between the languages of Central and East Europe
- mediates and supports professional contacts and tools, training, exchange of expertise and transfer of professional skills
- acts as a partner organisation in programmes for the improvement of the book trade infrastructure
The Grants programme assists in:
- Translation and dissemination of high quality literary and scholarly books in the languages of Central and Eastern Europe.
Priority is given to translations of literary works and publications in the humanities enhancing an exchange of thought and information across territorial and cultural borders. Grants are awarded to publishers for the translation of seminal scholarly works and essays that are of interest to a wider intellectual readership.
- Professional contacts, tools and expertise
Professional book trade associations in Central and Eastern Europe are eligible for assistance in the professional and infrastructural improvement of promotion, marketing, distribution, efficiency measures, and training.
Grants are allocated to professional book trade associations in Central and Eastern Europe to help defray incidental professional costs such as website design.

Sorry for the huge review, but I’m really loving the new Zune, and hope this, as well as the excellent reviews some other people have written, will help you decide if it’s the right choice for you.
I’ll gear this review to 2 types of people: current Zune owners who are considering an upgrade, and people trying to decide between a Zune and an iPod. (There are other players worth considering out there, like the Sony Walkman X, but I hope this gives you enough info to make an informed decision of the Zune vs players other than the iPod line as well.)
Wonderful site. A lot of useful information here. I’m sending it to some buddies ans also sharing in delicious. And obviously, thanks to your sweat!
Let’s put it this way, I cannot disclose the new features in detail today ‘ except to say something big
is happening in the area of cleaning. A plan that is held in substantial regard
across the planet and IT neighborhood is referred to as the Ideal Uninstaller.
It has a spider that will allow you to download whole
webpages or pieces of a webpage (why anyone would want to do this is beyond me, but if you want
to, you can).
With a proper attack way, you would easily reduce much password recovery time prior to program working.
