ETIB, the Only Non-European School to be Part of EMT

Thursday, October 20 and Friday,October 21, 2022

The Institute of Translation Studies of Charles University in Prague hosted the hybrid EMT network meeting held on October 20 and 21, 2022. Professor Mary Yazbeck, Head of the Translation Department at the School of Translators and Interpreters of Beirut (ETIB) of Saint Joseph University of Beirut (USJ) attended this meeting since ETIB is the only non-European School to be part of this prestigious network of MA programs in translation.

 The two-day meeting, themed “Translation in A Changing Europe”, focused on key topics such as exploring emerging language industry jobs, editing in the European Commission Directorate-General for Translation, translating science, dealing with directionality in translation, and evaluating eTranslation output on multilingual platforms.

Back-to-back with the EMT network meeting, the EMT meeting organized a language and translation-related event: network members highlighted the synergies between academia and the local market/network, as well as the need to explore further cooperation possibilities, and discussed the impact of the Ukrainian war on the translation industry.
