A pan-European initiative

European stories about what comes next.

Science fiction, social fiction, speculative fiction - the worlds Europe imagines for itself. We give those stories a place to be found, and the means to be made.

The idea

We don't predict the future. We want to show how Europe imagines it.

Across Europe, writers imagine the worlds we might inhabit - hopeful, cautionary, strange, plural. But these European futures are scattered across languages, publishers and borders, and too easily lost between them.

EuropiaSF gathers them. A shared mark to recognise them, a place to discover them, and the means to fund new works and carry them across the continent's many languages - so a story imagined in one corner of Europe can be read across all of it.

Where to go

Three places, one initiative.

The works, the money, the people - each has its own home.

What we do

Five ways to give European futures a home.

01 - The label

A EuropiaSF mark

A recognisable, curated seal for stories that imagine European futures - a shared identity authors, publishers and works can carry, so readers anywhere on the continent can find the same constellation of stories.

02 - Discovery

A platform for discovery

One place to explore European speculative writing across languages and borders. Browse by country, language, theme and format - and follow the threads between authors, translators and publishers.

03 - Funding

Crowdfunding works & translations

Money is the bottleneck for new stories and the translations that spread them. We let readers and institutions back specific works and translations directly - so a story written in one language can reach the whole continent.

04 - Formats

New formats & experiments

The book is one vessel among many. We sketch and test new forms - serialised fiction, audio, interactive and collective formats - to find fresh ways for futures to travel.

05 - Community

A European SF & futures community

Authors, translators, publishers, scholars and readers, connected across borders - with shared events, shared infrastructure and a network that meets in person, including at conventions like Eurocon.

Selected Alternative Futures

A mark of selection, not just a tag.

The EuropiaSF seal is curatorial. It says a work has been chosen as part of a living anthology of the futures Europe is imagining - a quiet signal to readers, booksellers and institutions that this is a story worth carrying forward.

Bilingual by design and built to travel - on a cover, a shelf, a screen, or a sticker.

The platform beneath the label

An open platform for publishing, translation & fair funding.

Behind the label runs an open platform where authors publish, translators create authorised translations, and readers support both - so authors keep their rights, translators are paid fairly, and minority languages aren't drowned out.
