After much questioning, wondering, and even more planning and organisation behind the scenes, I can reveal that I have a potential venue and programme for a WordstoDeeds conference

Please contact me via the sidebar if you know of others that I have not included here.
The highly reputed Department of Legal Sciences, Language, Interpreting and Translation Studies (the former Scuola Superiore di Lingue Moderne per Interpreti e Traduttori – SSLMIT) at the University of Trieste is offering a Masters in Legal Translation (Master universitario di II livello in Traduzione giuridica).
