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.

It is with a great pleasure that we would like to announce that the 4th CTER Congress will be held on 17-18 March 2025 in Kraków, Poland. Please save the date in your calendar. More details will be announced in due course.

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.

The congress aims to bring together distinguished scholars and researchers studying linguistics, translation studies, SLA, culture studies, and foreign language teaching. Its objective is to review the theories and research techniques in these fields, address contemporary issues, evaluate past and present critically, and make suggestions for the future. We intend for the congress to pave the way for new perspectives and directions, creating a dynamic online platform for discussions that transcend binary oppositions between the past and the present, the old and the new, and the traditional and the modern.

The 2024 conference theme is "Technological turn in translator and interpreter training", and it is supposed to address issues in translator/interpreter education and training in the "Age of AI". The TIFO 2024 guest speakers are Kilian Seeber (Geneva University) and Gary Massey (Zurich University of Applied Sciences).

We welcome proposals addressing, without limitation, the following topics:

• A competent translator in the age of AI
• The role of AI in training: costs and benefits
• Shocks and shifts in the T&I market
• Aligning the use of T&I technologies in the classroom and in the field
• Leveraging the big data: LLMs, corpora, NMT, terminology management…
• Fostering critical thinking in the times of AI
• The role of traditional methods: pen and paper gone for good?
• Developing human added value in language services
• Cooperative learning in and outside the classroom
• Post-editing NMT: best practices and efficient training
• Digital literacy of trainers and trainees: match, or mismatch?

As in the first edition, the aim is to discuss and explore the criteria that should guide the representation of the system of concepts behind the terminology of a domain. As the name of the conference indicates, we aim to contrast on one hand the traditional approach of setting up a concept system or ontology, which represents terms as nodes and relationships as arrows between them, and on the other hand frames, which take the relationships as the basis for the structure of events in the domain.

Call Deadline: 16th of April 2024 - Extended deadline for submission.
