Format(s) and Purpose

Panel discussion events are used by Translate Science to gather folks in our wider community and amplify or otherwise highlight ideas and work from folks we think are advancing multilingual science. In our core contributor meeting we have discussed that panels may take on various formats such as

Corners

Intentionally represent multiple diverse aspects of Translate Science in a single panel

Focus

All panelists within one specific focus related to multilingual science. Some possible examples:

  • Support services
  • Journals
  • Teaching
  • Translation Technology
Aim for the Middle

Panelists all clearly within point II.4 of UNESCO Recommendation on Open Science

"an organized attempt ... by  means  of  the objective  study  of  observed phenomena and its validation ... to  discover  and  master  the  chain  of  causalities,  relations  or  interactions [for] understanding  of  the  processes  and  phenomena  occurring  in  nature  and  society."
