In October 2024, the kick-off meeting of the new members of the European Master's in Translation (EMT) took place, at which the network for the period 2024 to 2029 was presented. This network consists of 81 Master's degree programs selected for their quality in the field of translation studies. Faculty 06 in Germersheim has also been a member of the EMT since 2024.
On October 24 and 25, 2024, EMT members from across the EU and beyond gathered in Brussels for their first joint meeting. The highlight of the first day was the presentation of the membership certificates by Christos Ellinides, Director General of the Directorate General for Translation (DGT).
The two-day event was not only an opportunity to celebrate the new network, but also to make groundbreaking decisions and promote exchange. In addition to the election of the new EMT board, workshops on EU projects such as Translating Europe were also on the agenda. An open discussion took place between the EMT experts and the LIND (Language Industry Expert Group) to improve future cooperation between science and the language industry.
With this successful start, the EMT network is setting an example for the future of translator training and networking with the language industry. Faculty 06 is delighted with the quality award from the EMT and the opportunities that membership opens up.
