We are delighted to invite you to St Jerome’s Symposium 2025, which will take place online on 30 September 2025, at 15:00–16:30 (CEST, UTC +2). As always, the event will be an opportunity for all those passionate about translation and translator education to come together and celebrate International Translation Day.

This year the symposium will be organised jointly with the Association of Programmes in Translation and Interpreting (APTIS) as part of the CTER-APTIS partnership, which was officially announced at the 4th CTER Congress (CTER 2025) back in March.

At SJS 2025, we will be honoured to host a special guest speaker from APTIS, Dr. David Orrego-Carmona (University of Warwick, UK; University of the Free State, South Africa), who will deliver a talk entitled “How technological change is affecting translator training”.

More details, including free registration, will be announced in September, but please mark the date in your calendar, so that you do not miss it.

We are pleased to announce that Prof Mariusz Marczak has been elected CTER President for the 2025–2028 term. On behalf of the entire CTER community, we offer him our sincere congratulations.
We also wish to thank all the nominees for their engagement and dedication to CTER’s mission. Special recognition goes to Prof Maria Piotrowska, who has graciously accepted the title of Honorary President in appreciation of her remarkable contribution to the Consortium.
We look forward to your active support of our joint efforts to build an even more vibrant and innovative community of translator educators.

A call for papers is now open for a special issue of The Interpreter and Translator Trainer (ITT) entitled “Value(s) in and of T&I Pedagogy: Educating Professionals for Today’s Language Industry”, inviting contributions that explore the role of values in translator and interpreter education.
