From 13-17 of March 2017 SCIT hosted Liam Long, Senior Interpreter of DG SCIC, European Commission. Liam arrived at SCIT to participate in the aptitude tests as an observer, but found time to hold intensive training sessions in English and French with this year’s students. He held 9 master classes in consecutive and simultaneous interpretation. We heartily thank Liam for his extraordinary industry and great contribution to the training process at SCIT.
