5. IMPACT & IMPORT 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 has lacked 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.

6. OUTCOMES • Series of case studies and research papers(for publications and conference presentations) • Series of public seminars and workshops • International conference • Public exhibition of electronic literature artworks and performances • Openly distributed publications(conference proceedings, exhibition catalog, report, and special issues of journals) • Electronic Literature Knowledge Base (materials from seminars, project information, and an extensive cross-referenced bibliographic research platform) • Anthology of European Electronic Literature(Published on USB and an accessible website, including pedagogical materials)
