European Network of Picturebook Research

The European Network of Picturebook Research is a pioneering network of European-based scholars researching picture books from around the world.[1]

The Network was founded in Barcelona in 2007, at the suggestion of Bettina Kümmerling-Meibauer. Its core group includes children's literature scholars Evelyn Arizpe, Teresa Colomer, Elina Druker, Bettina Kümmerling-Meibauer, Maria Nikolajeva, and Cecilia Silva-Díaz. Since 2007, it has held a biannual international conference.
