The KCTI Virtual Cafés are mainly (but not exclusively) targeted at students of specialised Master’s in translation and in conference interpreting. These online gatherings address topics of particular interest to students and give them the opportunity for virtual exchanges with one another, translation and interpretation professionals from different institutions and organisations and professionals in related fields (e.g. researchers).
Check our Events section regularly to find out about future Virtual Cafés and how to join them. You can also sign up to our newsletter to receive updates about outreach events organised by DG Interpretation.
