All course teachers have extensive teaching and research experience on current topics and come from different European universities and institutions. Courses are held in English or German.

The summer school is designed for professionals in the fields of translation, interpreting or terminology working in public institutions, private organisations or as freelancers. It is equally aimed at students as well as teachers and researchers in these fields. There is also a IATI Young Researcher Award for PhD students.

The 9th edition of SummerTrans is organised by the Institute of Applied Linguistics of Eurac Research (Italy) and by the Department of Translation Studies at the University of Innsbruck (Austria) under the auspices of the International Academy for Translation and Interpreting IATI, with the support of various sponsors.
