Remote simultaneous interpretation (RSI) is expected to have a significant impact on the interpreting profession, and the time is ripe for taking stock of how it may affect the market and the way in which interpretation services are delivered. This seminar will be an opportunity to hear about ongoing research on RSI and discuss the latest technical developments but also possible scenarios for the future. The round table that will follow the presentations will bring together the three speakers and Monica Varela-Garcia, Chief interpreter at the International Labour Organization (ILO), to allow all participants to engage in a critical debate on this important subject.
SPEAKERS:
- Klaus Ziegler, AIIC member, Coordinator of the AIIC Technical and Health Committee, on “the latest developments in the field of R(S)I and the different possible scenarios for the future”.
- Prof. G. Kilian Seeber, Vice Dean at the Faculty of Translation and Interpreting, Director at Interpreting Department, AIIC member: “Remote Simultaneous Interpreting: smoke, mirrors and snake oil?”
- Amy Brady, Staff interpreter at UNOG, AIIC member on “Interpretation of Videoconferences at UNOG”.
