Summit 2016
VIII EAFT Terminology Summit (2016)
EAFT, in collaboration with TermCoord, is organizing the Eighth Terminology Summit in Luxembourg on November 14–15, 2016.
In 2016, the EAFT celebrates its 20th anniversary and it is also a Summit year. Therefore, the Summit will be a good opportunity to go back and look forward at the same time, to present both revisions of the themes of earlier Summits (to see what has happened since then) and visions of where terminology needs to go from there.
The overall topic for the summit is: Visions and revisions The Summit will be composed around 8 sections which summarize the themes of the earlier Summits.
Session 1 Cooperation & Collaboration
Session 2 Social Media
Session 3 Quality Matters
Session 4 Responsibility
Session 5 Interaction and Diversity
Session 6 Terminology Profile
Session 7 Terminology: State Of The Art/Domain Loss
Session 8 Declaration
The idea is that each section will contain at least a revision and a vision related to the thematic of the section. Some areas which might appear to be missing from the above (e.g. terminology training, terminology research, terminology standardization, terminology management, terminology tools) are in fact not missing, but rather they could appear in several of the sections.
There will also be open sessions addressed to those professionals who want to share their experiences on these topics proposed in a set time limit.
