This event is another example of the excellent knowledge exchange activities between the Leeds Centre for Translation Studies and international organisations, as part of their IAMLADP UCG collaboration. The International Annual Meeting on Language Arrangements, Documentation and Publications (IAMLADP) Universities' Contact Group (UCG) acts as a liaison point for the further development of relations and co-operation between international organizations and training providers/universities.
