The sponsorship of AUF covers the costs for the basic print-runs (60-80 copies) of the already published issues and of a few more.
Negotiations for the same kind of support (paper and ink) on behalf of a state university from the Black Sea region are on.
All intellectual and technical labour related to Transponticae is voluntary. This is a matter of good will of the people involved, but also stems from our conviction that Transponticae is a cause and an enterprise, not a project.
In order to support a minimal level of financial sustainability, we allow ourselves to sell extra copies on print-on-demand basis at prices higher than the paper-and-ink costs but still lower than of comparable, in terms of intellectual investment, scholarly literature.
Pricelist is offered at the website of our publishing partner, la Coopérative universitaire "Romanistika" (Universitetska kooperatzia Romanistika), https://sites.google.com/view/curomanistika/librairie/transponticae.
Another way to support Transpontica is through small donations, preferably in Euro, to the following account:
BG44 UBBS 8002 1469 8746 10 (Обединена българска банка / United Bulgarian Bank, BIC UBBS BGSF), in favour of Йордан Димитров Люцканов (Yordan Dimitrov Lyutskanov).
Money will be used primarily to fund Black-Sea-studies related conference trips of scholars from the region to another country from the region, provided that these countries have no common land border; and, in case of necessity, of funding costs for paper and ink for the issues of Transponticae on paper.
