7th International Conference on Non-Professional Interpreting and Translation (NPIT7)

Spaces and Times of Multilingual Practices

University of Graz, 14-16 May 2026

At this year’s NPIT7 conference, “Spaces and Times of Multilingual Practices,” we welcomed a truly diverse, engaged, and committed community of scholars and practitioners from four continents, twenty-seven countries, sixty-seven cities, and across seven time zones. This remarkable diversity highlights the global significance of multilingual practices and the importance of collaboration beyond national boundaries. Graz, with its rich cultural heritage and long history as a crossroads of languages and traditions, provided an inspiring backdrop for stimulating papers, lively discussions, and warm conversations.

HTN Conference 2024

Translation - History - Politics

September 11-14, 2024

University of Graz, Austria

The History and Translation Network (HTN) was established in 2021 in response to the increasing significance of and interest in translation and interpreting history, both in translation and interpreting studies and historical studies (cf. "Manifesto"). The network has since connected a global community of scholars and practitioners from diverse disciplinary backgrounds who share the belief that acts of translation and interpreting are pivotal in the making of history and that considering their historical context is essential in comprehending said activities. One of its main objectives is to foster inter- and transdisciplinary collaboration and facilitate dialogue on the methodological and conceptual aspects of our research endeavors through conferences and other events. This vision was affirmed through the inaugural HTN conference held in Tallinn, Estonia, in May 2022 and the subsequent online follow-up event in May 2023, both of which highlighted the evident demand for such collaborative platforms.
