CALL FOR PANEL, ROUNDTABLE, WORKSHOP & ARTISTIC INITIATIVES
At this stage, we are inviting proposals from convenors of panels, roundtables, workshops and artistic initiatives (deadline 15 Nov 2024) on the topic of the conference: Sustainable Translation in the Age of Knowledge Extraction, Generation and (Re)Creation.
Please note that individual communications will be submitted at a later stage (see Key Deadlines)
Panels
Panels will serve as the cornerstone for structuring the conference programme. Panels are thematic, integrated discussions for 6 to 12 sessions on a clearly identified theme or topic within the larger theme of the conference (Sustainable Translation in the Age of Knowledge Extraction, Generation and (Re)Creation). They should provide attendees with an opportunity to hear presenters engage in dialogue amongst themselves as well as with attendees about cutting-edge research, practice, theory building, and/or policy development.
Important: at this stage, you do not need to have a list of speakers or abstracts. Your panel proposal will be assessed by the Scientific Committee. If accepted, your panel will then be posted on IATIS website and turned into a thematic call for papers open for anyone to submit. Panels convenors will be in charge of reviewing all abstracts submitted to their panel. The members of the scientific committee will review panel convenors’ selection before a notification of acceptance of abstracts can be issued.
