Meeting Description:

The Cologne conference on Specialised Translation was founded in 2010 at the
Institute of Translation and Multilingual Communication at the TH Köln -
University of Applied Sciences, Cologne. The aim was to host intermittent
conferences to provide a forum for focusing on state of the art research in
the various areas of translation and interpreting.

The second Cologne conference on Translation, Interpreting and Technical
Documentation will take place from 29-30 November 2018 at the TH Köln -
University of Applied Sciences, Cologne. We will continue to focus on the
significant fields of translation and interpreting, while extending the remit
to include technical communication. Given the fact that all three areas are
highly interrelated and new developments are continuing apace, the overarching
theme of the conference will be ''Interdependence and Innovation''. The goals
of the conference are to reflect on recent theoretical and methodological
approaches in the various strands of translation, interpreting and technical
communication, to explore potential forms of interdependence and synergies
resulting from these, and to thus contribute to the current state of the art
in research in these areas, with a view to preparing the ground for future
developments.

Mit der Kölner Konferenz zur Fachtextübersetzung wurde im Jahr 2010 am
Institut für Translation und Mehrsprachige Kommunikation der TH Köln (damals:
Fachhochschule Köln) ein Format begründet, in dessen Rahmen in unregelmäßigen
Abständen der aktuelle Forschungsstand in den verschiedenen Bereichen der
Translation fokussiert werden sollte.

Die zweite Konferenz, die am 29. und 30. November 2018 an der TH Köln
stattfinden wird, nimmt dieses Mal neben dem umfassenden Gebiet der
Translation mit seinen Teilbereichen Übersetzen und Dolmetschen auch die
technische Kommunikation in den Blick. Angesichts der starken Verflechtung der
beiden Felder sowie des dort zu beobachtenden raschen Entwicklungsfortschritts
ist die Konfe-renz dem Rahmenthema „Interdependenzen und Innovationen''
gewidmet. Ziel ist es insbesondere, neuere Ansätze in den verschiedenen
Strängen der Translation und der technischen Kommunikation zu reflektieren,
mögliche Interdependenzen und daraus abzuleitende Synergien zu erörtern und
damit den aktuellen Stand der Forschung mit Blick auf zukünftige Entwicklungen
aufzubereiten.
