The International Conference on Cognitive Research on Translation and Interpreting started in 2014 at the Centre for Studies of Translation, Interpreting and Cognition (CSTIC), University of Macau. Since then, five conferences have been held, the first three at the University of Macau, one at Beijing Foreign Studies University in 2017 and one at Renmin University of China in 2018. The conference has become an international forum for the presentation and discussion of up-to-date cognitive research on translation and interpreting.

The 6th International Conference on Cognitive Research on Translation and Interpreting will be held on 8-10 November 2019 at Southwest University, Chongqing, China. High quality research contributions describing original results of conceptual, constructive, empirical, experimental, or theoretical work are cordially invited for presentation at the conference. Papers presented at the conference will be selected through peer review process to be published in a special issue of Cognitive Linguistic Studies or a book of Springer’s New Frontiers of Translation Studies series.
