The next EMT conference is planned for 16 November 2012 in Brussels.
2011
Our 5th annual conference offered a glimpse of upcoming challenges for the profession especially progress in machine translation and the changing global language landscape — and how training could be adapted accordingly.
2010
At our fourth conference, some 250 participants debated about how to get more recognition for the translation profession.
2009
Discussions focused on plans to set up a network of European Master's in Translation programmes (EMT network). Its goals were to:
- discuss the admission criteria for the network, and the advantages and responsibilities of network members and applicants
- discuss an action plan and the future workings of the network
- debate university training and employability
- enhance cooperation between universities in different countries.
2008
The second conference focused on translator competences and the admission requirements for universities wanting to join the EMT network.
2006
Our initial proposal to set up a standard translation studies curriculum was discussed. This led us to create project groups to prepare a European network of master's level translation programmes.
