TY - JOUR TI - Developing Translation Research Competences Within the ID-TS Network AU - Piotrowska, Maria TI - Developing Translation Research Competences Within the ID-TS Network AB - In 2015, the European Society for Translation Studies proposed to establish a worldwide network of existing doctoral programmes in Translation Studies or doctoral programmes that included a Translation Studies component. The new network was named “The International Doctorate in Translation Studies” (ID-TS) http://www.idts-est.org. The first round of applicants submitted their documents for consideration in 2016, and the launch of the new network took place in Vienna the next year. The main goal of this study is to demonstrate how research competences may be acquired by students in doctoral programmes in Translation Studies within ID-TS by providing information about its chief aims and initiatives, admission criteria, application procedures and various activities and functions. ID-TS is recognized by the international community of translation scholars as a network that serves the purpose of enhancing international cooperation and building higher standards of programme content and delivery, curriculum assessment, research design, publication of research, and student mobility and placement at the third-cycle (PhD level) translator education.
