Mediterranean Editors & Translators, MET

Annual conference

MET’s main event of the year is the annual conference, Mediterranean Editors and Translators Meeting (METM), which is usually held in a Mediterranean city during the last four months of the year.

METM covers two and a half days and offers a wide range of workshops, short presentations and plenary talks by invited speakers. The aim of the conference is to provide high-quality content for participants and serve as a forum for networking with other professionals.

METM20, which was supposed to be held from 15-17 October, has been cancelled as a result of the coronavirus pandemic.

Workshops

MET organizes a series of workshops at varying locations in the period from March to September. The standard format is a three-hour workshop, sometimes monographic and sometimes combining several topics.

Workshops cover all aspects of continuing professional development for editors and translators working into English, including translation and editing techniques, field-specific content, grammar, and translation and editing tools.

Read about our online workshops on 17 April 2020 and past events in Nantes (April 2019) and Pisa (June 2019).

“It’s my community of practice.”

“METM continues to offer the best CPD and friendliest networking where peers treat you as equals.”

“I was pleased with the high degree of professionalism, the down-to-earth focus and work and good nature of the people at the conference, and the useful information exchanged respectfully among colleagues.”

“METM is a glorious mix of work and pleasure. The inclusive atmosphere is unique among translation conferences. MET is like a big happy family.”

“My first METM exceeded my expectations. It was welcoming (not cliquey), I learned new things and it was good to be around like-minded people from diverse backgrounds.”

“Feeling exhausted yet exhilarated today after my first METM in beautiful Split.”

“The sense of community is really strong.”

“Thanks to MET for another wonderful meeting. Darko and all of the rest of you have set the bar very high.”

“Thanks to all of you involved for putting together a truly excellent conference.”
