ABOUT US

AlumniSCI is the network of professional conference interpreters graduated from the MA Programmes of the Bulgarian Univesities or Schools for Conference Interpreting recognised by the DG SCIC of the European Commission. Our goal is to create a real network of conference interpreters based on high standards, skills, quality, and precision in interpreting. United through this network, we will be able to defend and promote our diploma and professional skills.

AlumniSCI does not pretend to act as a substitute for the educational system, but rather to be its extension in professional circles. To that end, the association develop programmes and services around three main axes:
