    In this Congress we aim to take stock of these different faces and discourses by sharing different needs and expectations, contrasting conceptual understandings of what translation and interpreting are, and reflecting on potential roles and opportunities for collaboration. The Congress will offer a fruitful forum for dialogue and collaboration between academics from different areas as well as stakeholders from across the industry.

    The impact of generative AI technologies such as ChatGPT is rapidly changing the frameworks of reference for the education and training of future language experts and translators. As a result, the role of language education has been greatly enhanced and simultaneously challenged. The broad availability of easily accessible AI-based resources has been changing the way language learning and translation are understood and practised today by students and teachers alike. By bringing together experts in AI, digital education, language teaching, and translation studies, as well as professional translators and publishers, this conference will offer an opportunity to reflect upon the challenges and possibilities that the AI revolution offers, and to steer future research towards a more integrated approach to digital literacy, language education, and translation training.

    Deadline for Abstract Submission: November 1, 2024.

    A writer's translating practice can fuel his or her work in surprising and stunning ways, and some contemporary poets and novelists have chosen to translate and embed fragments written by others into their own writing. These segments frame sometimes a collection of poems, sometimes a prose chapter. Depending on where they are placed, they provide an added conclusion, some kind of closure, a twist, or, as epigraphs, they serve as springboards to what follows. However, they may also be encased – or even showcased – within a new matrix. This literary practice is sometimes so deliberate on the part of an author that it constitutes a form of translational-creative writing of its own, a form of literary experimentation.

    Deadline: 25.09.2024

    Dear Colleagues,

    We are pleased to invite you to present your research from any area of translation and interpreting (T&I). This includes, but is not limited to the didactics of translation and specialised language, the theory and history of T&I, issues concerning professional T&I, terminology, translation criticism and the application of modern technologies in the translation process. We welcome you to participate in the International Academic and Professional Conference "Translation and Interpreting Today: Research and Profession", which will be held on March 13 and 14, 2025, in-person at the premises of the Association or remotely. The call is open to researchers from Serbia, the region and other countries. We particularly encourage young researchers to submit their presentations. The conference aims to enhance the scholarly and professional approach to T&I through the exchange of knowledge, experience and best practices. The participants' presentations will be published in the journal Prevodilac after a blind peer review process.

    Deadline: 15.10.2024

    The conference addresses the question of how translation participates in the construction and undoing of differences in the social world and how it sorts people into categories. Which categories become relevant in which situation and field (politics, science, law, religion, art etc.)? And how do they interact? Moreover: which categories and distinctions are inscribed in concepts and theories of translation? Which ‘centrisms’ (e.g. eurocentrism, anthropocentrism) or ‘biases’ can be identified?

    Submission deadline: June 30, 2024.
