Press Release: ‘European Master’s in Translation’ network is up and running

The “European Master's in Translation” (EMT) network is holding its constitution meeting in Brussels on 8 and 9 December 2009. The member universities providing translator training programmes get together to establish the network's governance structure and to plan which competences a professional translator of the future may need. In September 2009, 34 Master's level translation programmes from universities all over Europe were selected to be members of the EMT network for an initial period of four years. A further call will be launched at the end of 2010. With the EMT network, a quality label for translation programmes at Master’s level is born. This will pave the way for high-quality education for translation students, broadening their professional horizons while nurturing competent workforce even for public institutions.
