Young Interpreters Award 2020

Blog

The Young Interpreters Award is a contest organised for conference interpreting students. A theme directly linked to the SCIC-Universities Conference is given every year in order to inspire the students. The writers of the three best speeches are then invited to visit DG SCIC and attend the Conference. The winner of the contest gets to present their speech in front of all the participants.

This year's topic was "Interpretation, the added value of a profession". The speeches could be written in English, French and German.

Just like last year, we have asked the students' permission to publish their speeches in the Knowledge Centre on Interpretation, so that others get to read their ideas and reflections as well. Please see below the list of participants, in alphabetical order, whose speeches can be found under the Files tab (on the left side of the screen). The letters between brackets show the language of the speech (EN = English; FR = French; DE = German).
