The ever-changing landscape of the translation and interpreting industry and academic research has led in the past 10 years to translation taking place in different places, platforms and modalities. 
It has also led to a shift in the profile of the modern translator and interpreter, who are now expected to work in different domains, with different tools, and according to different workflows. 
Academic research in translation and interpreting studies has also taken on different faces with a multiplication of different areas, tools, methodologies. 
This has strengthened our understanding of translation and interpreting phenomena in all their complexity, but this has also caused a proliferation of discourses about translation and interpreting that do not always coincide or align with those of the industry.

'In this Congress we aim to take stock of these different faces and discourses by sharing different needs and expectations, contrasting conceptual understandings of what translation and interpreting are, and reflecting on potential roles and opportunities for collaboration. The Congress will offer a fruitful forum for dialogue and collaboration between academics from different areas as well as stakeholders from across the industry.'

De toegenomen verengelsing van het hoger onderwijs staat in diverse Europese landen ter discussie. Is de verengelsing niet te ver doorgeschoten? Vergroot ze de kloof tussen wetenschap en samenleving? Vormt de verengelsing een bedreiging voor de Nederlandse cultuur? Hoe ziet een evenwichtig taalbeleid er uit dat recht doet aan zowel het steeds internationaler karakter van het hoger onderwijs als de taalgebonden culturele identiteit van een land?

Tijdens een internationaal symposium gaan wetenschappers en beleidsmakers op 1 en 2 juli a.s. in Maastricht hierover in gesprek.

Theme: Making Meaning Through Signs and Signals: Effective and Emerging Multimodal and Technical Communication

'Modern communication calls for more than traditional methods today. Digital solutions play a crucial role as they expand the efficiency and reach of communication. Multimodal communication, an evolution of this trend, is about the challenge of seamlessly integrating various media forms, from messaging apps to video calls – and it is also about the challenge of understanding how the different type and layers of communication, text and images, speech and body language, interact and interfere in the creation of attractive and effective messages. In an increasingly interconnected world, the integration of digital solutions and multimodal communication is crucial for effective exchange and collaboration.'

'The past two decades have witnessed remarkable advancements in the studies into Education, Second and Foreign Languages, Translation and Interpreting, Cultural Studies, and Communication.

This growth, evident in both the number of active researchers and the volume of scholarly throughput and outcomes, can be largely attributed to the forces of globalisation.

Consequently, adopting the globalisation perspective is timely and provides a natural framework for connecting these diverse yet interlinked disciplines.

GLECC2025 aims to bring together researchers, educators, practitioners, and policymakers from the realms of education, foreign and second languages, cultural studies, translation, interpreting, and communication.'

This conference endeavours to break the subject silos.
