Update from 12 April 2012
 
Dear IATIS community,

Registration is now open for participating in the 7th IATIS Conference, which will be held both on site in Barcelona and remotely.

We are aware that these are difficult times for many people given the cuts and redundancies in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic. 

This is why, IATIS and the Organizing committee are raising a solidarity fund of 1500 euros to lift the registration fee of delegates whose income has been severely affected by the Covid-19 and who are subsequently struggling to cover their registration. IATIS will also fund one full bursary for speakers from band 3 and band 4 countries, including travel, accommodation, and registration fees. See eligibility and modality of application here: (deadline: 30 April 2021).

The registration fees, which were announced in October 2020, have been established with a lot of care to ensure the financial viability of the conference. With the Covid-19 pandemic, we are learning that online delivery of conferences is not cheaper as on-site budget items are replaced by costs of technical devices and support. A hybrid mode is even more complex as we still have the on-site costs. In spite of these complexities, the Organizing Committee and IATIS remain 100% committed to a hybrid mode, because it can create a dynamic that will benefit not only those who are onsite but also those who are offsite. 

For example, the OC is currently working towards the provision of an online space (for the conference delegates only) for a one-month access to the recording of the panels and papers of the conference. This is because we are aware that despite delegates' eagerness to participate in the conference for 5 days, online fatigue and time zone differences may make such a thing impossible in real time. This means that there will be live interaction (spoken or written) during the conference as well as asynchronous interaction for a month after the conference. This is the first time that IATIS conference participants will have the opportunity to enjoy all the papers which are delivered simultaneously in parallel sessions. The Conference policy will soon be updated accordingly, to provide for the necessary consent and confidentiality by all participants to guarantee participants' rights and duties. The OC will update the website as soon as details are confirmed.

Only with your contribution and participation can the Barcelona conference be true to the IATIS spirit of solidarity and scientific excellence.

Last but not least, we are proud to announce over 300 presentations covering a wide spectrum of topics and approaches to Translation and Ecology, to be delivered by speakers from every corner of the planet, including our four Keynote Speakers, whom we are honoured to have with us: Emily Apter, Esperança Bielsa, Michael Cronin, and Liudmila Kushnina. There will be many papers in and beyond the 20 thematic Panels, 4 workshops, 2 roundtables, and 12 posters.  We have a provisional programme that provides for all of the necessary slots, so that you can see the basic structure of each Conference day.

We are looking forward to seeing you all in (connection to) Barcelona. 

Thank you and kind regards

Julie Boéri, Chair of IATIS International Conferences Committee

Patrick Zabalbeascoa, Chair of the 7th IATIS International 

 
Update from October 2020

1) Conference dates: 14-17 September 2021

Our Conference has been forced to search for alternative dates given the important changes in the 2021 calendar for big events in Barcelona. Now, Barcelona’s biggest international conference, Mobile World Congress (MWC), has moved its dates (from February) to coincide exactly with those of our original program. Accordingly, all conference-worthy hotels have blocked their bookings for MWC only, making it impossible for us to expect IATIS Conference attendees to find accommodation for 29th June to 2nd July in Barcelona.

Because of this unfortunate and unforeseen change of scenario we have reprogrammed the Conference dates to 14th-17th September, 2021. We apologize for any inconvenience and hope you understand we did not want to impose a fully online conference, aware as we are that our community needs to reunite face-to-face.

2) Deadline extension: new deadlines

In accordance with the new dates there is an extended period for Submitting Abstracts and for Registration: 30 November 2020

Key Deadlines: Here

Submitting a proposal: Instructions here

3) Conference mode of delivery

The Organizing Committee is committed to offering an onsite Conference but given the difficulties some of you may experience in being present on campus, we are switching to a hybrid mode of delivery, allowing for remote attendance or on-site attendance.

However, on-site attendance will only be available for delegates who are scheduled to speak at the conference; remote attendance will only be available to some speaker-participants (priority given to to speakers with travel restrictions).

This is because the Organizing Committee intends to strike a balance between the need to encourage face-to-face, on-site interaction, the need to accommodate for people’s travel restrictions and the obligation to ensure social distancing and any other safety and health regulations applicable at the time of the conference.

Registration fees have been updated accordingly: HERE
