The Higher education sector can benefit from the results of the AVTiA project because lecturers, university students and translators are provided with the necessary skills, competences and sources to teach and assess inclusion in audiovisual translation. The objective is thus, to generate attitude-change and raise higher education sector awareness on the need to ensure access to information to people with disabilities.
A package providing skills, competences and sources to teach and assess inclusion in audiovisual translation

On the 8th and 9th November the University of Lleida's team were in Dublin and participated in the Translation Studies Network of Ireland Conference (TSNI 5) on Challenges in Translation and Interpreting held at Dublin City University (DCU). During the event, the team disseminated and networked related to the AVTIA project. The project’s website was presented, discussed together with targets and expected results, the project brochures were also distributed to the audience.
The new legislation on subtitles, specifically the European Accessibility Act (EAA) 2025, mandates that audiovisual media, including television broadcasts and streaming services, must include closed captions and subtitles. This ensures greater accessibility for individuals with disabilities, particularly those with hearing impairments. Click here to learn more!
