28 November 2019

On 28 November, Professor Ren Wen, Dean of Graduate School of Translation & Interpretation (GSTI) of Beijing Foreign Studies University (BFSU), visited the HSUHK to give a talk and meet with the management and academics of the School of Translation (STRA). The latest developments of both schools were shared during the meeting, followed by fruitful discussions on future collaborations on teaching, research and exchange, culminating in an MOU signing ceremony to deepen the academic cooperation and exchange. This year witnesses the 10th anniversary of the cooperation between GSTI and STRA, an important milestone marked by the MOU.

The STRA was honoured to invite Professor Ren to deliver a talk on “Translation Practice, Translation Competence and Translation Ethics in the New Era”. Professor Ren expounded on changes in the translation field in the new era, demand for translation/translators in society and quality requirements of interpreters/translators, all against the background of rapid change in translation technology. The talk greatly benefited the audience, not least the students.
