12th EAFT Terminology Summit
Terminology Planning in Europe
27-29 November 2025
Department of Translation Studies, University of Innsbruck
EAFT, in collaboration with the Department of Translation Studies at the Univeristy of Innsbruck, is organizing the 12th Terminology Summit in Innsbruck on the 27th -29th of November, 2025 on the topic Terminology Planning in Europe.
Terminology Planning cannot be defined independently of the language, linguistic environment, and country in which it takes place. Based on this assumption, the EAFT Summit 2024 will bring together terminologists from almost every European country to discuss topics related to terminology planning. Roundtables discussions and presentations will facilitate the exchange of ideas and best practices.
Amongst the topics that will be discussed during the summit there are: Integrating Terminology Strategies into Language Policy, providing AI with the correct terminology, mastering dissemination amongst experts and public outreach, striking a balance between descriptive and prescriptive approaches to terminology, terminology efforts in co-official languages and multilingualism, neologism and word formation in modern Europe, Terminology Training, the impact of EU Memebrship on terminology planning.
