TRANSLATON
TRANSLATON is a series of conferences dedicated to translation studies, covering both theoretical and practical aspects. The concept emerged from close collaboration between the University of Warsaw and the University of Wrocław, initiated by Prof. Anna Małgorzewicz (Head of the Department of Glottodidactics and Translation Studies, University of Wrocław) and Dr. Hab. Monika Płużyczka, Prof. UW (Head of the Department of Translation Studies, University of Warsaw). The project aims to integrate the translation studies community in Poland while fostering closer cooperation with international scholars. The TRANSLATON conference is held alternately in Wrocław and Warsaw.
