Meeting Description: 

HEA-AHRC symposia series on interculturalism and translating cultures
Translation Training Symposium in Your Subject in the Digital Age 

Dates: June 20-21, 2014
Organiser: Higher Education Academy-AHRC, University of Stirling

Are you a PhD/PGT student or researcher in science, technology, business, management, sports, law, media communication, etc., who would like to gain some translation/interpreting skills as additional strings to your bow? Are you a linguistics student who is searching for potential partners outside your research areas for joint funding applications? If so, 'Translation Training Symposium in Your Subject in the Digital Age' would be a perfect platform for you to learn something new, or expand your research network. 

This two-day symposium will be held at the University of Stirling, in the heart of the Scotland, boasting one of the most beautiful campuses in Europe. During this symposium, translation professionals and researchers will help you to acquire basic skills in translation and culture/cross-culture awareness, not only between different countries they work with, but also between different subject disciplines. The paradigm of translation has gained particular importance today, especially in the recent debate on 'cracking the language barriers' and the wider business communities.

The symposium aims to investigate how the act of translation functions in each respective medium, and how translation will be presented as an act of communication, bridging and connecting different media and different cultures. 

The participants are expected to develop:

1. The awareness of cultural difference in specific field of translation
2. Translating strategies, assisted by CAT tools in specialised translation
3. Last but not least, it provides a forum for non-linguistics students to meet researchers outside their research areas, to build bridges between interdisciplinary subjects and thus promote cross-disciplinary cooperation.
