It is also interested in initiatives promoting cooperation in AVT between the business and the educational worlds.<h3 style="margin: 0cm 32.6pt 0pt 26.95pt; text-indent: 9.05pt; line-height: 150%; text-align: justify">Special attention will be devoted to accessibility issues, since the conference organisers are especially interested in the progress being made in turning today’s elitist information society into an information society “for all”. Markets worldwide are changing fast, with distribution policies and strategies being shaped by political decisions and economic factors beside audience expectations and needs. Contributions investigating the social and economic implications of making accessibility an a priori fact of life rather than a necessary evil are therefore welcome. </h3><h3 style="margin: 0cm 32.6pt 0pt 26.95pt; text-indent: 9.05pt; line-height: 150%; text-align: justify">Through papers, panels, and round-table discussions dealing with such issues, we hope to be able to promote new perspectives, reflecting and anticipating the developments of our rapidly changing times. </h3><h3 style="margin: 0cm 32.6pt 0pt 26.95pt; text-indent: 9.05pt; line-height: 150%; text-align: justify">Text on screen, text on air will take place in Leiria and it will be the first AVT and accessibility conference ever in Portugal.</h3>The 2 day conference (8–9 Nov) will be preceded by one day of optional Workshops (7 Nov).A Forum on AVT Research will be held on the evening of 7 November. This is an open space for people who are interested in academic research in AVT for the discussion of issues such as finding a research topic, structuring a research project, finding funding, writing a PhD dissertation, pursuing postdoctoral studies, publishing academic papers, running for prizes and obtaining scholarships.<h3 style="margin: 12pt 32.7pt 3pt 27pt; text-align: justify"></h3><h1 style="margin: 0cm 0pt; line-height: 150%">Conference Themes ____________________________________________</h1><h1 style="margin: 3pt 32.6pt 0pt 71.7pt; text-indent: -17.85pt">· Translating for Audiovisual Media (Subtitling, Dubbing, Voiceover, Interpreting, Fansubbing, Surtitling…)</h1>· Media Access (Subtitling for the Deaf and hard-of-hearing, live subtitling, audio description, sign language interpretation)<h1 style="margin: 3pt 32.6pt 0pt 71.7pt; text-indent: -17.85pt">· Cultural Access (Translation and access services for live arts, museums, events and tourist sites)</h1><h1 style="margin: 3pt 32.6pt 0pt 71.7pt; text-indent: -17.85pt">· Video Games Localisation</h1><h1 style="margin: 3pt 32.6pt 0pt 71.7pt; text-indent: -17.85pt">· Mobile Content (Translation and access services for multimedia mobile content)</h1><h1 style="margin: 3pt 32.6pt 0pt 71.7pt; text-indent: -17.85pt">· Tools and technology (Developments and new tools for translators, media access provision and training)</h1><h1 style="margin: 3pt 32.6pt 0pt 71.7pt; text-indent: -17.85pt">· Didactics, training and skills (Teaching/Training objectives and environments for audiovisual researchers, teachers, students, translators and media access providers)</h1><h1 style="margin: 0cm 0pt; line-height: 150%"></h1><h1 style="margin: 0cm 0pt; line-height: 150%">Information on Papers/Workshops _______________________________</h1>Papers are allotted 20-minute slots to be followed by 10 minutes for discussion (30 minutes in total).Workshops are expected to take 2h 30m to 3h.Working language: English.
