The European Network for Short Fiction Research was established in 2013 with the aim of fostering and promoting the study of short fiction in European universities and in interaction with short fiction writers. After an inaugural meeting early in 2014, the ENSFR has organized annual conferences as well as sponsored several other study days and events. This website aims to be an interactive platform for sharing research, expertise, ideas and information about short fiction in its diversity of linguistic traditions and forms.
ENSFR organizes annual conferences in different European universities, with the aim of bringing together researchers, writers and critics of short fiction around a certain theme. Apart from these annual conferences, ENSFR also supports many other ENSFR-affiliated conferences in the broad field of short fiction studies.
