The European Commission has decided to exclude Switzerland from a partnership scheme it runs for higher education institutions offering master’s-level programmes in translation, according to a university group, which described the move as “unacceptable”.
The League of European Research Universities, which has two Swiss members, decried the move to bar Switzerland from the European Master’s in Translation scheme, which provides a quality label and network for the translation programmes.
In a statement it published on 30 August, Leru urged the Commission to reconsider its decision for the 2024-29 period and allow Switzerland’s participation in the EMT scheme.
