Third International Conference on Interpreting Quality (ICIQ3)

We are pleased to announce ICIQ3, the Third International Conference on Interpreting Quality, which will be held in the city of Granada, Spain, on 5, 6 and 7 October 2017.

This conference is an initiative of QINV1, a research project involving scholars of the University of Granada, the University of Salamanca, the Music Conservatory of Jaén and Heidelberg University.

ICIQ3 is intended as a platform for fruitful dialogue on interpreting quality. It will bring together a variety of perspectives and promote exchange at different levels:

• At the Academia/Profession interface: between professionals, trainers and researchers
• Intradisciplinary: between interpreting researchers focusing on various settings and modalities, such as conferences and public services, and spoken as well as signed languages
• Interdisciplinary: between interpreting researchers and scholars from other sciences (e.g. translation, linguistics, lexicography, musicology, psychology, sociology, library science and statistics, among others)

The conference will address a number of topics, including, but not limited to the following: quality criteria in different interpreting settings, user expectations and needs, quality perception and quality measurement, quality assurance in the interpreting process, nonprofessional interpreting, method transfer across disciplines.
