contrapor2006

1st Portuguese Translation Conference

It is our great pleasure to invite you to participate in the 1st Portuguese Translation Conference – contrapor2006 – to be held in Lisbon (Monte de Caparica), Portugal, on 11 and 12 September 2006. This event is organized by the ATeLP - Associação de Tradução em Língua Portuguesa in cooperation with the Department of Applied Social Sciences of the Faculty of Science and Technology of the Universidade Nova de Lisboa and is being held under the auspices of FIT – Europe. Translation sustains countries’ development and progress and plays an increasingly influential role in today's world. In being called upon to counterpose human communication in all its different forms, it has long staked out its importance as a practice and a skill intersecting all branches of knowledge and professional experience. Such characteristics are evident above all in specialised translation. contrapor 2006 will provide an excellent opportunity for researchers, scholars, translators and clients purchasing translations to discuss the general theme: Specialised Translation: An Engine For Development.
