THEY HELP MAKE IT HAPPEN
We joined forces with some institutions and organisations in order to make our ACTRAductologie Conferences both a successful human experience and a quality scholarly event. As a research centre, university, faculty, media outlet, digital or language technology maker, you can contribute in sharing knowledge and discussing the latest trends about translation, terminology, editing or anything in-between, from CAT tools to neural machine translation (NMT) or remote simultaneous interpreting (RSI).
