Across Advisory Board Established
The product for integrated translation support reflects the ambitious goals of Across. The development process is coached by a scientific advisory board that comprises leading representatives of relevant subject areas.
The members of the Across Advisory Board appear below in alphabetical order:
- Prof. Dr. Gerhard Budin, University of Vienna
- Karl-Heinz Freigang, University of the Saarland
- Dr. Nicole Keller, University of Heidelberg
- Prof. Dr. Joachim Kornelius, University of Heidelberg
- Maurice Mayer, University of Heidelberg
- Dr. Felix Mayer, Sprachen & Dolmetscher Institut Munich
- Dr. Detlef Reineke, Universidad de Las Palmas de Gran Canaria
- Prof. Dr. phil. Uwe Reinke, University of Applied Sciences Cologne
- Prof. Dr. Peter A. Schmitt, University of Leipzig
- Prof. Dr. Klaus-Dirk Schmitz, University of Applied Sciences Cologne
- Prof. Dr. Hans Schwarz, University of Applied Sciences Magdeburg-Stendal
"We are very happy that leading representatives from the research and development sector will be serving on our advisory board," reports Andreas Dürr, whose responsibilities for Across include R&D cooperations. "Our Advisory Board is a forum for constant exchange between product development, on the one hand, and applied linguistics, on the other hand. Our goal is to combine technological and academic research in a way that will profit both sectors."
In addition to its work with the Advisory Board, cooperations exist between Across and Germany's leading translator-training institutions. Through the cooperations, joint events and classes are offered, and students can acquire licenses for the Across Campus Edition at no charge. This will allow students to become acquainted with the concept of networked, integrated translation work, which Across envisions to be the future of professional translation work.
