The conference is organised by NL-TERM, the Dutch-Flemish Association for Dutch Terminology, in collaboration with the Department of Applied Languages of Lessius University College Antwerp.
The 2006 conference aims at contributing to the efforts of the European Association for Terminology (EAFT) and other national and international organisations to create platforms for the exchange of information on advances in terminology science and applications.
The conference is part of a 'Terminology Week', organised with the EAFT. EAFT organises the Third Terminology Summit to be held on 13-14 November in Brussels. NL-Term, TermNet and Lessius organise the international conference on terminology from 15 (pre-conference workshops), 16 & 17 November in Antwerp.
The central theme of the conference is the impact of terminology on everyday life, and terminology needs & practices. The conference will bring together theory and practice – terminology companies and government departments on the one hand and universities with terminology in their curriculum on the other - and focus on the following:
Topics
- the importance of/best practices in terminology management, knowledge management & multilingual document production for such important societal areas as business & services, industry, government, administration, health & human care, security, etc.
- best practices for/projects of national terminology associations representing smaller languages and/or new EU member states whose objective it is to promote their own language as the language for specialised terminology; issues relating to language policy in this area
- best practices in terminology teaching and training
- uniformity and standardisation across languages of the terminology of translation and interpreting
Participation is open to terminologists, terminographers, computer specialists, translators/translation companies, interpreters, teachers of terminology/terminography/translation/ interpreting, linguists, lexicographers, publishers, etc.
Contributions will be published in the form of proceedings.
