Abstract:

The United Nations have their own communicative culture in six languages 
Ensuring effective communications in such a complex environment requires 
translators with a high level of translation competence. In addition, there is a 
growing demand for qualified translators with a strong command in 
communicative efficiency in the Arabic, Chinese and Russian languages.
Whereas the languages services of the United Nations are highly centralized, 
the educational systems of the universities are extremely diverse and 
decentralized. Effective and efficient multilateral collaboration with the United 
Nations has therefore become a priority for CIUTI institutes. How can 
universities collaborate more efficiently with the United Nations in order to 
train translators for specific needs especially in the present years in which 
many vacancies come up?

The CIUTI Forum took place in January 2007 at the United Nations in Geneva 
and was centered around the New Needs of the United Nations in language 
matters. Solutions to existing problems such as scarceness in certain 
language combinations as well as specific training needs pour UN-purposes 
were the main issues of this event. Within the framework of this Forum 
contributors emphasize the different approaches of how to integrate the new 
needs of the languages services of the United Nations into the training 
institutions, such as the importance of the necessary different forms of 
cultural communication in six languages in any kind of discipline. Special 
stress is put on the two main axes of communication: internal communication 
between experts and external communication with the broad public.
