The Department of Translation Studies will yet again take part in an interesting and stimulating international project. EVIVA is a joint effort of five European universities: University of Surrey (GB, lead partner), Adam Mickiewicz University (Poland), University of Cyprus (Cyprus), University of Bangor (GB, Wales), Eberhard Karls Universität Tübingen (Germany). The project, which has just been granted EU funding, will focus on evaluating the efficiency of different virtual learning environments in interpreter training.
This is not the first venture that our Department has undertaken with these university partners. The consortium (together with Bar Ilan University in Israel) has also successfully collaborated on IVY: Interpreting in Virtual Reality - a fascinating project aiming at the development of a virtual platform for interpreter training. The Department of Translation Studies also actively participates in ADLAB: Lifelong Access for the Blind together with the University of Trieste (Italy, lead partner) and Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, Istituto Politécnico de Leiria, Artesis University College Antwerp, Bayerische Rundfunk, Vlaamse Radio en Televisie, Senza Barriere. Both IVY and ADLAB are additionally co-funded by the Polish Ministry of Science and Higher Education.
