Conference theme
The second TRAK symposium explores the fundamental role of translation and interpreting as channels for the dissemination of knowledge, bringing languages and cultures closer in a diversified world. Through this approach, we intend to bring together scholars, practitioners and researchers representing different areas of translation and interpreting, in order to discuss the rapidly changing situation in the translation and interpreting disciplines, as well as professional aspects and recent research trends in the contemporary world.
