Our Research Assistant Anna Furtado spent four very productive days in beautiful Almuñecar (Granada, Spain) as a participant in the LexiCon International Doctoral Summer School 2023 (September 4-8). This year’s theme was terminology management in the age of artificial intelligence.
Anna: “The LexiCon Summer School provided me with the chance to revisit and expand the knowledge I had on terminology. It was a unique opportunity to meet all the greatest scholars working on the Terminology field talking about classic and contemporary trends. I especially enjoyed learning how to deal and systematize knowledge on neologisms, which immediately resonated with the words Pope Francis creates to communicate his message, for example ‘algorethics’. I am glad I had the chance to deepen my skills on knowledge systematization and how we can harness available technologies to do so. Finally, it was especially valuable to have had tutorials and speak individually with each of the academic mentors; not everyone has the chance to meet their heroes!”
