Join us on Monday when Researchers Juho and Erja from the University of Eastern Finland present the results of their research into the role of language professionals in research work!

“The aim of this online seminar is to present our research and our observations of the assumptions and views that researchers have of language services and how they use them, and to promote discussion on what the interaction between language service providers and the field of academic research could be. Recent technological developments have brought changes to the work of both language professionals and academics, so we also wish to promote discussion on what professional human language services can offer researchers today and how these services can be communicated within academia”.

When? 12 January 16:30 EET

The session is free for NEaT members, 10€ for members of sister associations, and 15€ for non-members.

The zoom link will be sent to those who register on the day of the session.
