NEW TASKS FOR LEGAL INTERPRETERS AND TRANSLATORS
IN THE ENLARGED EUROPE
to be held at Hotel Europejski, ul. Lubicz 5, Kraków, Poland, on 3-5 April 2014
Conference languages: English, German, and Polish
In 2004 ten countries, primarily in Central and Eastern Europe, became EU members. Both the acquis
communautaire and EU Directive 2010/64 on the right to interpretation and translation in criminal proceedings
triggered major changes in the legal and professional status of interpreters and translators working in judicial
settings. On the occasion of the Tenth Anniversary of the EU Enlargement, the Krakow Conference would like to
provide a platform for judicial stakeholders and trainers of legal interpreters and translators to report about the
main challenges and achievements of this past decade.
Topics of contributions cover two fields of interest: legal status, professional ethics and good practices of
legal interpreters and translators in EU as well as CPD (continuing professional development) and university
training of LITs
Conference structure: Friday morning - plenary session (with simultaneous interpretation), Friday
afternoon - parallel sessions (each in one of the three conference languages), Saturday morning – plenary session
(with simultaneous interpretation). Saturday afternoon is dedicated to the 4th General Assembly of EULITA.
The parallel sessions (in the three conference languages) on Friday afternoon will take place in separate
rooms so that participants and contributors can choose their preferred language and topics.
No interpreting will be provided during the parallel sessions on Friday afternoon; participants will speak
either in English, German, or Polish.
Simultaneous interpretation in English, German, and Polish will only be provided at the plenary sessions
(Friday morning and Saturday morning). There will also be simultaneous interpretation in English and French
during the EULITA General Assembly (participation is for EULITA members and observers only).
Keynote lectures. The following will give keynote lectures at the plenary sessions: Sally Bailey-Ravet,
responsible for interpretation at the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg, Patrick Twidle, Director for
Interpretation at the Court of Justice of the European Union, Liese Katschinka (EULITA), Christiane Driesen (AIIC),
Christine Springer (OVGD), Danuta Kierzkowska and Joanna Miler-Cassino (TEPIS).
Full texts of contributions will be published on www.tepis.org.pl after the conference; a possible paper
publication will be decided in March.
Special reduced hotel rates for conference participants have been arranged in three hotels: Hotel
Europejski, Hotel Polonia and Hotel Ibis. The conference participants are expected to contact the hotels directly, to
