We especially welcome graduate students and professionals in the translation & interpretation industry to share their research or factual experiences on the challenges and potentials of the translation and interpretation world. The language in the paper presentation will be English.

Full papers (min. 2000 words, single-spaced on 11-sized Times New Roman) will be considered to be included in the conference compilation volume providing at least one author registers and presents the paper at the Conference. Papers will be double-blind reviewed by members of the conference committee and may be rejected due to a poor standard of English. Details on format of papers will be available in the acceptance email sent to potential presenters. The review committee has the right to ask for changes in the paper. The committee’s decision is final.
