9th International Lucentino Colloquium

As part of the celebrations of the 50th anniversary of the Faculty of Philosophy and Letters of the University of Alicante and the 30th anniversary of the studies of Translation and Interpreting, the Department of Translation and Interpreting has the pleasure of convening the 9th International Lucentino Colloquium.

Over these three decades, major events have impacted our society deeply: the European Union, agenda 2030, pandemics and wars, misinformation, social media, climate emergency, migration crises, mass tourism, housing shortage, poverty and inequality. But perhaps the most startling change, at least in practical terms, has been brought by technological advances, from the emergence of personal computers, e-mail, the internet and mobile phones, to artificial intelligence and its unfathomable effects.

The 9th International Lucentino Colloquium aims to become a venue to meet and reflect upon the evolution of the translation and interpreting industry in the field of didactics, professional practice and research over the last three decades since the creation of the official translation and interpreting studies at the University of Alicante. We will encourage reflection through an analysis of the past, questioning the present and conceptualising the future that we want, through the exchange of opinions and mutual learning.

Registration is open until November 30, 2025
