The conference focuses on new interdisciplinary ways of looking at text and
is aimed exclusively at first-time presenters. It intends to provide a forum
for the exchange of ideas as well as an environment for examining the research
process under the guidance of experienced researchers.

To this end we invite abstracts for paper presentations and/or workshop participation
in the broad range of Translation and Interpreting Studies & Textual Studies.

Abstracts for paper presentations: 300-500 words.
Presenters will receive feedback on their work and presentation skills.

Proposals for workshop participation: Approx 1,500 words on your research
to date, problems encountered and expectations from the workshop.

Participation in workshops is strongly encouraged and welcomed, as they will
provide an opportunity for up-and-coming young researchers to share and explore
their ideas and findings with panels of their peers and also with senior
experts in the various subject fields.
