Summary/Abstract: The European Masters' in Translation (EMT) network, established under the Directorate-General for Translation of the European Commission, fosters cooperation and exchange among translation experts across Europe, with members selected every five years through a rigorous review process. The Autumn 2022 meeting, hosted by the Institute of Translation Studies at Charles University in Prague, featured discussions on the integration of machine translation into the translation process, digitalization, and the impact of the war in Ukraine on the translation industry[^1^][1]. Presentations covered topics such as the gap between academic training and market needs, the Translate Science project aimed at making non-English scientific publications more accessible, and the importance of teaching translation into a second language. The colloquium 'Translation in a Changing Europe' facilitated dialogue between academia and industry stakeholders, highlighting the potential for synergy and collaboration.
