The EAFT Summit 2016 has been a great success. It has been two days of different presentations, amazing speakers and great atmosphere. The European Association for Terminology (EAFT), in collaboration with TermCoord, has organised this Eighth European Terminology Summit presented on 14th and 15th of Novemberin one of the European Parliament buildings in Luxembourg. We have had the chance to listen various professors and terminology specialists from around the word such as: Mr. Valter Mavrič – Director-General for Translation (DG TRAD, EP), Mr. Henrik Nilsson – TNC / EAFT President, Mr. Rodolfo Maslias from TermCoord(DG TRAD, EP), Ms. Patricia Brenes – famous terminologist and blogger, Ms. Georgeta Ciobanu – an academic professor, Mr. Jordi Bover – Director of TERMCATor Mr. Alan Melby from the American Translators Association.
