"Young interpreters: language intermediation as a diversity inclusion tool"

Seminar organised by the MIRAS research group marking the end of two research project conducted during the past few years: the EYLBID strategic association, co-funded by the European Union's Erasmus+ Programme, and the ILM project, funded by the Spanish Ministry for Science, Innovation and Universities.
