The course "Management of Translation Projects" includes lectures, during which students get acquainted with the basic principles of translation project management, participants of the translation market, their specificity and interaction, technical means used in the management of translation activities. First, the role of participants in the translation market - customers (international organizations, state institutions and public organizations, commercial enterprises, publishing houses), intermediaries (translation bureaus) and executors - is consistently considered. The organization of translation activities in the institutions of the European Union is studied in more detail. Attention is also paid to the organization of translation education in Ukraine and EU countries, the functioning of professional associations of translators. After that, the issues of translation ethics are considered. In the next part of the course, students get acquainted with the features of the management of large translation projects: selection of translators, management and support of translation activities, quality control of completed translations.
