The City of Antwerp welcomed us at the Town Hall, or “‘t Schoon Verdiep,” with a tour and a wonderful reception. Grateful for the warm hospitality! #CETRA2024

@cetrakuleuven Hartelijk dank @TatjanaScheck (ook aan je team) voor de warme ontvangst en de spontane rondleiding. Wat een prachtig gebouw en wat een prachtige ervaring voor onze internationale doctorandi en staf. 🙏

@cetrakuleuven Discerning eyes will spot “Arbeid sterkt, wetenschap verlicht, kunst adelt” inscribed above the arches. “Work strengthens, science enlightens, art ennobles.” Not a bad motto for #CETRA2024!

Congratulations to @AmyColman1984 for successfully defending her dissertation on ‘Translation product evaluation in translator training’! An interesting finding: in her study looking at L1 Dutch and L2 English BA students (n=32), L2 translation quality was slightly better than L1

@cetrakuleuven .@PJFreeth maybe you know someone who’d be interested given you work on similar themes?
