IfTra will host a workshop focused on transfer activities and projects at the Translation in Transition 2026 conference at RWTH Aachen. On the afternoon of September 9th, we will first gather three presentations on transfer activities, informing on the Translate Science Initiative, a project on developing inclusivity-friendly prompting guidelines and current transfer activities in audiovisual translation at AppTek (see below for details).
The series of presentations will be followed by a roundtable on the relevance of transfer for research and practice in translation and interpreting. The presenters will be joined by Prof. Dr. Silvia Hansen-Schirra who heads the Competence Center for Translation and Communication at the University of Mainz in Germersheim.
