The first conference of universities signatories of memorandums of understanding with the United Nations Department for General Assembly and Conference Management (MoU universities) was held in Salamanca on 3 and 4 May 2011. The Conference was organized jointly by DGACM and the University of Salamanca and hosted by the University of Salamanca. The main purpose of the conference was to launch a network of universities and tertiary-education schools that are committed to enhancing their programmes for training translators and interpreters so that they can better meet the United Nations’ requirements. 3- This was to be achieved through agreement on concrete proposals in the following areas: (a) building synergies between the academic (research and training) orientation of Universities and the task-oriented, institutional nature of the UN’s language services; (b) facilitating exchanges of information and good practices among universities in the areas of curricula, course materials, training methods (including virtual and distance training) technological support, student selection/evaluation criteria, etc.; (c) enhancing coordination between the universities and the UN with regard to a set of competencies considered essential for pursuing a language career at the UN; (d) examining ways to strengthen collaboration between the universities and the UN, including pedagogical visits, joint training activities, and internships/traineeships; (e) establishing an MoU Executive Committee.
