On 26-27 September, the School hosted Dominique Leveille, a translator and trainer of the Geneva School of Translation and Interpretation. Dominique Leveille gave a lecture «International Organizations, Parliamentary Procedure and Conference Terminology» with a focus on the mechanisms of decision-making and document terminology. He also met with the School trainers to discuss the issues of interpreter training and the resources of the ETI portal on which our guest offered specific comments. Knowledge about the high-tech equipment used for interpreter training in Geneva will contribute to the innovation of hardware in the School.

This was Dominique’s second visit to the School. He first came in 2009 with the delegation of ETI trainers, and it was at that time that our continued cooperation started. The current visit took place within the framework of the grant awarded by the Swiss government to pursue a joint research project in teaching translation and interpretation at both universities.
