From 1985 to 2018, the Centre for Slovenian Literature published the Aleph Edition book series. The series included new Slovenian literary works (several poem collections got the prestigious Jenko Award) as well as translations of contemporary world literature. Over 100 titles were published in the series, some bilingual. Aleph publications have also been recognised also internationally and received financial support of the EU Cultural Programmes.
The Contemporary European Poetry project, supported by the EU Culture 2000 Programme, brought translations from Polish, Macedonian, English, Croatian, Lithuanian, Danish and French.
