The Round table was conducted in a hybrid format — both offline and online — which expanded the geographical reach of participants and facilitated active aca-demic dialogue.
The discussions focused on cultural transfer, the features of polyculturalism, in-teraction between languages and cultures, as well as the role of translation as a key tool of intercultural communication in the context of globalization. Partici-pants emphasized that translation is not only a linguistic process but also a cru-cial means of conveying cultural meanings and values.
The Round table served as an important platform for knowledge exchange, strengthening international cooperation, and developing the Institute’s academic partnerships.
The event confirmed the high level of scientific activity at EAGI and its commit-ment to integration into the international educational and research community.
