The Center for Research and Innovation in Translation and Translation Technology (CRITT) at CBS is offering the third international PhD course in Translation Process Research (TPR) from August 5 to 8, 2013. The course will focus on theoretical aspects of translation process research, on experimental research design and methodology, on data visualization and human translation modeling, and on qualitative and quantitative data analysis. There will also be an opportunity to get hands-on experience with recording eye-tracking sessions and to discuss issues arising in connection with user interaction with language technological tools, particularly the process of post-editing machine translation output. In addition, participants will have the chance to discuss their research with each other and the lecturers.
The course components will be taught by leading researchers in the respective fields. The mornings will be devoted to lectures and discussion, while the afternoon sessions will include participant presentations, consultation with the lecturers, and preparing, running and analysing a demonstration experiment using the methods taught in the morning sessions. The course will be taught in English.

Copenhagen Airport (Kastrup) is eight kilometers southeast of the city. By Metro it takes less than 15 minutes to get to the city center and 20 minutes to get to CBS.
Taxis are also available (if you get a taxi make sure you give the correct address of the venue as there are several CBS buildings in the Frederiksberg neighbourhood).
Getting to CBS:
The easiest way to get to CBS, from almost anywhere in the Copenhagen area, is by taking the Metro (Lindevang Station is the Metro station right next to CBS at Dalgas Have). Metro trains depart every 4 to 6 minutes during the day and every 15 minutes in the evening. Travelling from the main station (Hovedbanegården, Tivoli) you get on Bus 2A bound for Tingbjerg/ Gavlhusvej and get off at Forum station.
