As translation and interpreting practices are reshaped by the accelerating advances of artificial intelligence, neural networks, and automation, new questions arise: What remains distinctly human in the act of translation? How can creativity and critical reflection coexist with algorithmic efficiency?

Organised by the Department of Foreign Languages, Translation and Interpreting and the MA Science of Translation of the Ionian University, this international conference — Translating and Interpreting in the Era of Algorithms (TIERA)— invites scholars, researchers, professionals, and students to explore the emerging interfaces between technology, translation and interpreting, and language mediation in the 21st century.

The event is held within the framework of the 40th anniversary of the Department’s founding, marking four decades of innovation, education, and scholarship in translation and interpreting.

Join us in Corfu, 9–11 October 2026, to celebrate this milestone and collectively explore the future of translation and interpreting.
