CALL FOR PAPERS
---------------------------------------------------------------------

An interdisciplinary approach to the teaching and practice of translation calls
for sourcing, integrating and articulating concepts and experiences across a
wide range of professional and academic activities. As issues in health and
environmental sciences leap cultural and language barriers, translators and
interpreters must keep pace with developments in these and other areas as they
relate to scientific, educational, professional, technological and legal concerns.

Keynote speakers will include: Carmen Casal Fornos (director of documentation
and publications, Ministerio de Medio Ambiente), Mary Ellen Kerans (president of
the Mediterranean Translators and Editors association, expert in medical
translation and collaborative editing) and Jordi Serrano Pons (physician and
creator of Universal Doctor Speaker).

Topics may include (but are not necessarily limited to) the following:
I. Knowledge management in health and environmental sciences
•	Climate change
•	Biotechnology and environmental protection measures
•	Recycling and environmental management
•	Scientific illustration and schematics

II. Teaching issues in health and environmental sciences
•	Teaching specialised translation in health and environmental topics
•	Lexicography and terminology in the health and environmental sciences
•	New developments

III. Professional issues in health and environmental sciences
•	Hospitals: on-site provider/patient interpreting and document translation
•	Professional scientific translation
•	New challenges
•	Software

Scientific committee:  Lydia Brugué, Lidia Cámara, Eva Espasa, Amèlia Foraster,
Miquel Pujol, Ronald Puppo, Richard Samson
