Due to covid-19 restrictions, ICTIC 3 is postponed to November 2-5, 2021. The conference will be held face-to-face only. If the Italian authorities advise against holding it in person, then ICTIC 3 will turn into a full online event.

A second round of abstract submission will open from April 5 to 11, 2021.

Registration will open in September 2021. More information to be announced soon.

After the success of ICTIC 1 (Mendoza, Argentina) and ICTIC 2 (Germersheim, Germany), ICTIC is holding its third edition at the Forlì Campus of the Università di Bologna, Italy, from June 28 to 30, 2021. In just two editions, ICTIC has become one of the most important venues for scholars working at the interface of translation, interpreting and cognition. This year, we also intend to expand the boundaries of our scientific community and to foster a dialogue with neighbouring research domains to make Cognitive Translation and Interpreting Studies truly interdisciplinary.ICTIC 3 is organised by the Laboratory for Multilectal Mediated Communication & Cognition (MC2 Lab) of the Dipartimento di Interpretazione e Traduzione of the Università di Bologna and it is endorsed by the TREC network. 

We look forward to welcoming you in Forlì in 2021!
