- to enhance cross-border dissemination of the best works from the European cultural and literary scene and to promote authors and their work outside their immediate language area.
- to represent and promote the "endangered species" of the cultural journal on a European level and to encourage multilingual, intercultural dialogue and exchange in a transnational environment.
