The conference series is held every two years, with a different central theme for every conference, and welcomes researchers from across the world to participate. The inaugural conference, held on 17–19 December 2015, was a great success with about 150 participants from Mainland China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Japan, Singapore, Korea, the UK, Belgium, Spain, Italy, the US, Canada, and New Zealand.
The second conference, "Patronage as a Shaping Force in Chinese Translation History", has invited submission of panel abstracts as well as abstracts for individual papers on patronage in the definition of André Lefevere: "the powers (persons, institutions) that can further or hinder the reading, writing, and rewriting of literature" (Translation, Rewriting, and the Manipulation of Literary Fame). It is hoped that the Conference will bring to light the force of patronage in determining the course of Chinese translation history. Details can be found at the conference website:
