The next international conference of the Centre for Legal and Institutional Translation Studies (Transius) will take place onsite from 27 to 29 June 2022 in cooperation with IAMLADP’s Universities Contact Group (UCG). The conference will provide a forum for dialogue between scholars and practitioners with a common interest in legal translation and institutional translation settings more generally. It illustrates the Centre’s commitment to fostering international cooperation and advocating translation quality in the field.

The 2022 conference will combine keynote lectures, parallel paper presentations, a poster session and thematic roundtables, so that all participants, from high-level experts to translation trainees, can benefit from the exchange of experiences. Contributions on the following themes are welcome: 

1. Problems, methods and competence in legal translation, including comparative legal analysis and legal hermeneutics for translation
   
2. Terminological issues in legal and institutional translation
3. The use of corpora and computer tools for legal and institutional translation practice, training and research
4. Sociological and ethical issues in legal and institutional translation
5. Developments and implications of institutional policies of translation and multilingual drafting
6. Thematic specialisation in institutional translation (technical, scientific, financial, etc.)
