- legal translation workshop ' Turkish/French (WILLEMS Ariane): translation of legal texts professional translators are most confronted with, such as contracts (employment, leasing, etc.); calls for tenders; (first instance) court rulings; as well as relevant Turkish legislative texts related to current affairs.
- scientific translation workshop (WILLEMS Ariane): translation of scientific texts and drawing up of thematic glossaries. The texts to be translated will concern, for instance, renewable energies, organic farming, the Turkish fauna and flora and the technical aspects of traditional Turkish crafts (weaving, copper tinplating, etc.)
