Protocol of Understanding between IATIS & AIETI
The International Association for Translation and Intercultural Studies (IATIS) and the Asociación Ibérica de Estudios de Traducción e Interpretación (AIETI) share common goals in developing research on translation and interpreting studies. These goals include: (a) to promote research on translation, interpreting and intercultural communication; (b) to provide a framework for the scholarly discussion of issues related to the education and professional development of translators and interpreters; (c) to encourage public awareness of research in Translation and Interpreting Studies. To foster closer cooperation between the two associations in these terms, IATIS and AIETI wish, through this protocol of understanding, to formalize institutional links between their associations.
