This is a good occasion and a good reason to take stock of the development and the state of art of translation studies. After the successful 10-year long tradition of the 'International Innsbruck Lectures on Translation Studies' and the International Summer Schools 'SummerTrans', held in Innsbruck, Saarbrücken and Vienna the 1st TRANSLATA International Conference aims to have a new impact on fundamental translation and interpreting research whilst offering a forum for broad exchange between researchers, teachers and practitioners. On the basis of recent and new research results as well as lively discussion between established researchers and newcomers to the discipline, the conference hopes to provide new insights into the different kinds of translation and interpreting activities, at the same time gaining ground on the way to scientifically-based quality standards in translation and interpreting.
