ELMCIP IMPACTSAs we approach the end of the ELMCIP project, we can tes)fy that: §  Europe now stands on equal foo)ng with North America as a center of ac)vity in the field of electronic literature. The conferences and networking ac)vity emerging from the ELMCIP project has helped to ac)vate a dynamic European field of scholarly and crea)ve prac)ce. It is notable that next year (2013) both the E-‐Poetry Fes)val and the ELO conference will be hosted in Europe, in London and Paris, respec)vely. §  We have learned and published a great deal about networked crea)ve communi)es, providing an example for other fields of prac)ce. §  We have developed a substan)ve digital humani)es research infrastructure for electronic literature, and helped to form an interna)onal network dedicated to such work and to the global sharing of open-‐access data and scholarship in the field. §  The research infrastructure we have developed (Knowledge Base, Anthology of European Electronic Literature, books, and journal issues) will have even more substan)al impact in years to come than they do at their moment of ini)al release.
