Commission hosts 'Translating Europe' forum
On 18 and 19 September, the European Commission will host the first 'Translating Europe' forum, bringing together universities, providers and purchasers of translation services, national administrations, private companies, language institutions and translators’ associations.
The event aims to encourage innovative joint projects, the exchange of good practices, and to promote sustainable jobs in the language and translation professions. The forum will discuss innovation in the sector and how best to match the needs of the job market with the skills offered by university training, as well as EU funding opportunities. A new study, Translation and intellectual property rights, will be presented to the delegates. The study tackles issues such as how translations and databases are protected by copyright in the digital age and whether translators should be considered as authors.
Watch the event online: Thursday 18 September, 9:45-18:00, Friday 19 September, 9:30-13:00.
