On to an update from CACL with Nazan Kiziltan (here presenting the rest of the team) and an interactive quiz to see how much we know about the language admission procedures 😅
Fun facts about AIIC 😉

On to an update on PRIMS activities with the PRIMS Standing Committee, starting with a summary of the previous meeting in Lecce. #PRIMSinDublin
The PRIMS SC has:
- contributed to the EU consultation on collective negotiation for self-employed professionals
- helped prepare a document on dos and don'ts for colleagues who are offered to work at events organized by the EU institutions
- organized a webinar on ISO Standards (recording available on the website)
- helped prepare a brochure on ISO Standard 23155, available in 21 languages
- reviewed the master contract, including distance interpreting (soon to be available)
Starting a hybrid panel discussion on sustainability of events with @RaisaMcNab, @MartyFullardUAE, Ana Pleite and Alexandra Hambling, moderated by Louise Jarvis.
"Interpretation is a tool for integration, and integration makes events more sustainable", Ana Pleite, PRIMS Standing Committee.
#PRIMSinDublin is a carbon-neutral event. Emissions have been offset through different measures and programs.
