* These new workshops have also been scheduled during the pre-METM10 program in Tarragona. The scheduling during the Barcelona workshop season gives our local members a chance to attend in the spring or September and then choose a different workshop at the October meeting.
† Participants are advised that the workshop on handling texts with plagiarism will be of most benefit to those who have already attended Righting citing: principles and strategies for editors and translators or who have experience with academic manuscripts for publication in any field. Also, note that although the developers have oriented their workshop toward editors, we have found that we also detect plagiarism of ideas and paragraphing while translating for academic authors.
§ MET has decided to maintain the scheduling of this workshop even though a Spanish general strike has been called for 29 September. We’ve made this decision because the last general strike was called off at the last minute and because we have registrants coming from abroad who have made firm travel plans.
We should have confirmation from the IEMED at the end of August on whether or not the venue will be open (it seems that it will). If registering before this date, please withhold payment until we confirm that the workshop will take place. If you need to make travel plans to come to the workshop, we advise that you check with Membership Chair Anne Murray before making any firm bookings.
