The T&R Forum

Hosted by CRBC (the Research Centre for Breton and Celtic Studies at the University of Western Brittany, Brest, France) in association with the university’s Master’s Degree in Translation and Technical Writing and HCTI (another of the university’s research centres) in partnership with Lessius/KULeuven (Antwerp, Belgium) and with the support of AFFUMT (Association française des formations universitaires aux métiers de la traduction), the T & R Forum will take place in Brest every other year starting in December, 2011, alternating with a similar event in Antwerp, Belgium, hosted by Lessius/KULeuven.

The aim of the Forum is to provide opportunities for scholars and practitioners in the fields of translation and (technical) writing to compare ideas and experiences. Topics may include the following: the translation process, CAT tools, Natural Language Processing (NLP), revision, proofreading, quality control, management, teaching translation, translator training, curriculum design, etc. The Forum will also include a round table discussion. Also, on Saturday, an hour and a half will be set aside for meetings with professionals (translation software, bookshops, etc.)
