Two intensive and inspiring weeks of interactive lectures, webinars, workshops, one-on-one tutorials, and peer engagement aimed at jumpstarting your advanced research in translation studies
CETRA is happy to announce that the call for participants for the 2025 CETRA Research Summer School in Translation Studies is now open!
This year’s summer school will take place online from 25 August to 5 September. We are pleased and honoured to have Kobus Marais (University of the Free State, Bloemfontein, South Africa) as our 2025 CETRA Chair Professor.
Applications can be submitted up to and until 28 March 2025 via the CETRA summer school website.
The CETRA Research Summer School was created in 1989 by the pioneering translation scholar José Lambert to promote research training in the study of translational phenomena and to stimulate advanced scholarship in translation studies. It was the first summer school of its kind and remains the preeminent summer school in translation studies.
Now in its 36th year, the CETRA Research Summer School has helped hundreds of talented doctoral, postdoctoral and early-career researchers from around the world hone their research skills, improve their research projects, connect with peers and senior colleagues, and assert their place in the wider academic community.
Alumni speak fondly of the ‘CETRA effect‘ – the transformative experience of engaging with peers and senior colleagues at a critical moment in one’s research trajectory and career.
