The International Association for Translation and Intercultural Studies (IATIS) is a world-wide forum designed to enable scholars from different regional and disciplinary backgrounds to debate issues pertinent to translation and other forms of intercultural communication.
Ongoing internationalization and networking, increasing population mobility, mass migration and rapidly developing communication technologies involve cross-cultural representation of one kind or another. Mediation is provided by translators and interpreters in some cases. In others, this mediation is assisted by means and processes which are less explicit and thus remain largely untheorized and under-researched.
Becoming a member takes less than 10 minutes to complete registration and to make payment.
