‘The right translator in the right place: a challenge for the formation’ was the motto of an international CIUTI forum where theoreticians and practitioners could enter into discussion. This is a positive evolution, but what are the reasons to organize a similar initiative? We all know that institutions for higher education wish to gear their curricula to the needs of the professional market. That professional market, on the other hand, isn’t beware of its crucial role within the field of quality. To come to a high quality level in translation, educators, professionals, and policy makers have to get together to discuss the future.
