Public Lectures and Seminars | 繁 | 简 |

The Centre for Translation has always been pursuing actively to promote academic exchanges locally and internationally in order to enhance the development of the discipline in Hong Kong. Prior to the inception of the Translation Seminar Series, a number of prominent translation scholars and practitioners had already been invited to give public lectures and seminars in the University. Sharing sessions were also organized for translation undergraduates in the University to interact closely with these scholars and practitioners.
