It is our pleasure to launch the call for papers for the Third International Conference on Community Translation (ICCT 3), to be held between 6-8 July 2023 at the Institute of Applied Linguistics, University of Warsaw, Poland. The conference is an initiative of the International Community Translation Research Group, and was preceded by the successful First International Conference on Community Translation, held at Western Sydney University in September 2014, and Second International Conference on Community Translation that took place at RMIT in Melbourne.

The third edition of the conference aims at discussing issues related to the most recent events and changes in the condition, status and application of community translation in different fields, including legal settings, healthcare and migration. We plan to identify those areas of research and practice that need further development, especially in the light of recent humanitarian crises. Indeed, these events highlighted the role and importance of good quality community translation, as well as the growing need to set standards and provide for quality assurance measures for community translation worldwide. We hope to reflect on such topics as well during ICCT 3. This edition of the conference is also aimed at bridging the gap between community translation and other disciplines, as well as promoting community translation in those locations where its status is under-recognised. For individual presentations, we welcome proposals related to the conference topics:

• Community translation in migration services
  
• Community translation in healthcare and for health literacy
• Community translation in legal settings
• Merging fields: when community translation draws from other professions
• Accessibility in translation tools and practices
• The current role and status of community translation worldwide

We welcome works from both researchers and practitioners, including individuals, public institutions, companies, etc. Abstracts should not exceed 250 words.

In addition, we would like to invite teams of up to 3 members to submit proposals for 2-hour-long workshops on the following themes:

• Towards promoting best practices in community translation
• Developing training curricula

Length of workshop proposals: approximately 500 words. They should include aims, a short plan of the workshop, method(s) of work and possible outcomes.

Both individual presentation proposals and workshop proposals will be uploaded via EasyChair which will be available on the conference website, https://sites.google.com/view/icct3-2023

The deadline for submitting a proposal is 31 October, 2022.
