The second EMT conference took place in Brussels on 14 March 2008. It focused on translators’ skills and the criteria for universities to join the EMT network.
For practical reasons the conference was by invitation only, but anyone could follow the speeches and debates live via web streaming.
Our goals for this conference were to:
- bring together translator training specialists from the EU and prospective member countries, as well as employers and international organisations
- discuss issues related to translator training in the EU and implementing an EMT
- seek consensus on a common EMT curriculum and implementation criteria
- build a network of universities in the EU to implement the EMT
- establish cooperation between universities in different countries
- professionalise translation as an occupation within the EU.
