The IEA has a publication catalogue stretching back to it’s founding in 1955. Since then, over 500 IEA publications have been translated into an array of languages. Thanks to the help of organisations such as Network for a Free Society, EPICENTER and The Initiative for African Trade and Prosperity, the IEA has been able to spread the message of freedom to every corner of the globe. The IEA offers a limited number of small grants to translate our materials and organise related outreach activities.

If you’re interested in translating one of the IEA’s many publications please email Harrison Griffiths, IEA International Programmes Manager, at hgriffiths@iea.org.uk.
