Meeting Description:

APTIS (Association of Programmes in Translation and Interpreting Studies of
the UK and Ireland) was created in Newcastle in September 2017. Its aim is to
advance education for the public benefit, so as to improve the quality of
learning and teaching as well as research on translation and interpreting
programmes at HE institutions. APTIS therefore encourages research into all
aspects of translation and interpreting at UK and Irish HE institutions and
dissemination thereof. It supports the use, application and impact of
scholarly research in that context, and it also supports current and future
professionals in the field. In order to do so, APTIS seeks to provide a forum
for the discussion and elaboration of these aims by members and to consult and
co-operate with other professional organisations and stakeholders in the
achievement of common objectives.

The 1st Annual APTIS Conference, to be held at Aston University on 23-24
November 2018, will act as a platform from which to enable translator and
interpreter trainers, professionals and academics alike, to exchange ideas
about the challenges and opportunities in translation and interpreting
teaching in the current Irish and British contexts.
