We are pleased to announce that Dr. Adolfo García, Scientific Director of LPEN (INCYT, INECO Foundation), has been appointed member of the Steering Committee of the Thematic Network «Translation, Research, Empiricism, Cognition». This entity, which brings together researchers from dozens of universities distributed around the world, is the main focus of knowledge about the mental processes involved in translation and interpretation in bilinguals.

Dr. Adolfo García, Scientific Director of the LPEN (INCYT and Fundación INECO), participated as a project leader in a series of research workshops held at the University of Applied Sciences in Zurich (Switzerland). The ongoing study, which involves Swiss and Brazilian institutions, combines various behavioral and oculometric methods to investigate the cognitive processes underlying the writing of texts in English as a foreign language.

Dr. Adolfo García, Scientific Director of the LPEN (INCYT and INECO Foundation), together with a team of international experts, was awarded a three-year research fund by the Chinese government. During this period, various studies will be carried out to understand the cognitive changes that bilingual young people undergo through intensive periods of training in interpretation and translation. The project, entitled «Assessing the scope of expertise-driven advantages in bilinguals: A comparison of interpreters and translators», will be funded by the General Research Fund of the Hong Kong Research Council.

Dr. Adolfo García, Scientific Director of the LPEN (INCYT, INECO Foundation) will speak at the inaugural panel of the 1st Seminar on Linguistic Governance in the Argentine University System. In his speech, he will go through various neuroscientific findings that invite us to rethink the teaching of foreign languages. The event will take place on Monday, June 24 at the Libertador Hall of the San Martín Palace (Arenales 761, CABA).

Those interested can register, until Friday, June 14, using the following form: https://forms.gle/fzTZj2R1JScZ7FqU6.

A team of experts from INCYT and the INECO Foundation, led by Dr. Adolfo García, has been selected by the British Council to carry out a nation-wide research project. The initiative seeks to examine the possibilities, needs, and challenges surrounding the use of English in the Argentine higher education system.

Congratulations to the team!
