The XXII Congress of the International Comparative Literature Association took place at the University of Macau, from 29 July to 2 August 2019, despite a typhoon’s attempt to disrupt it. The Congress was preceded by the ICLA Executive Council Meeting and International Comparative Literature Forum, held at the University of Shenzhen and co-hosted by the Chinese Comparative Literature Association and Shenzhen University. The ICLA is very grateful to the CCLA, the University of Macau, the University of Saint Joseph, Shenzhen University, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Renmin University of China and the Macao Association of Convention, Exhibition and Tourism Sectors for their generous support, and to the Organizing Committee for all their excellent work.

Minutes of the last meeting of the Executive Council 2016-19, of the new EC for 2019-2022, and the General Assemblies that took place at the Congress will be published as soon as they are ready. We anticipate here two significant decisions: ICLA membership fees for Graduate Students (Masters and doctoral) will be waived; and a travel grant will be established to support Early Career Researchers. More details will be published in due course.
