Mission statement

The IntAct (Interpreting in Action) research group, based at the Centre for Translation Studies at the University of Vienna, investigates interpreting as a committed, socially relevant practice, focusing on the participants involved, their agency and needs. Particular emphasis is placed on dialogical settings in various contexts, including legal and social counselling, asylum procedures, the medical sector and activist networks. Furthermore, IntAct addresses issues relating to interpreting pedagogy, interpreter training and professional development. Using empirical and collaborative approaches, IntAct combines research, teaching and practice to facilitate accessible, high-quality and equitable interpreting practices.
