Academic Translations & Events Management Centre

A translation carries a book across a border. An event gives it somewhere to land.

Where scholarship, language and events meet. Tarajim Centre supports knowledge seekers, knowledge providers, literary ideas and intellectual exchange.

About

Where scholarship, language, and events meet.

Tarajim Centre extends support to knowledge seekers, knowledge providers, literary ideas, and intellectual interactions.

The Centre is proud to have a panel of prominent academics who celebrate ideas. Our researchers work through archives and documentation centres, and coordinate with prestigious Indian universities and institutions.

Together we help hold seminars and interactions with visiting academic, cultural and literary figures, and see that the translated word reaches the readers it was written for.

What we do

Translation, programmes, and the gatherings around them.

Who we work with

For people who take language seriously.

Tarajim Centre was established for a specific kind of audience: people who take language, literature and scholarship seriously. That shapes how we translate, edit and review, and how carefully we format and prepare every book for print.

  • Academic institutions, cultural centres, literary circles and academies
  • Think tanks and strategic studies institutions
  • Councils promoting tolerance and coexistence among nations and faiths
  • Arabic language centres, libraries and archives
