SUMMARY:Writing for Localisation
DESCRIPTION:Thursday 9th July @13.00-14.00 CET \nAna Sofia Correia\, Medical Translator and Writer \n\nMedical and scientific content is often developed for use across multiple countries\, languages\, and audiences\, yet writing and translation are still frequently treated as separate stages. This can result in ambiguity\, terminology inconsistencies\, and cultural or regulatory mismatches that create avoidable rework and delays.\n\n\nThe webinar will explore how sourcewriting decisions directly influence translation and adaptation outcomes\, and how a localisation-aware approach can improve clarity\, consistency\, and usability from the outset. The session will cover common source-text features that make translation more difficult\, practical ways to improve localisation readiness when writing in English\, and a simple framework to support decisions on whether content should be translated\, localised\, rewritten\, or transcreated. It will also address terminology decisions and the importance of considering the broader context when content is intended for global communication. Participants will leave with practical insights to help them create source content that is clearer\, more adaptable\, and better suited for use across markets. \nKey takeaways for participants: \n\nRecognise common source-text features that make translation and adaptation more difficult.\nApply practical writing principles to create clearer\, more localisation-ready source content.\nUse a simple framework to decide when content requires translation\, localisation\, rewriting\, or transcreation.\n\nLevel: Foundation to intermediate \n\nPrevious knowledge required: None. No prior localisation or translation experience is required. The webinar will be particularly relevant for medical writers and content developers who collaborate with global teams\, affiliates\, or translation partners.\n\n\nTo register\, please click here\n\n\nRegister here

SUMMARY:AI-generated visuals and copyright
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday 23rd September @ 13.00-14.00 CET \nWebinar Title: AI-generated visuals and copyright \nPresenter: Joana Corte-Real\, freelance scientific illustrator \nAbstract:\nIn a world where navigating copyright legislation was already complex\, the appearance of new tools that allow us to delegate literary and artistic work to a machine has created a legal grey area that raises issues of IP ownership.\nIn this webinar\, we will go through basic and common aspects of Author’s Rights legislation within the EU landscape\, setting the stage to discuss the pitfalls of AI-generated content in today’s legal context.\nFinally\, we will address how you can use AI in an ethical and responsible way that protects you and your client’s IP.\nTakeaway messages:\n• Basic understanding of the author’s rights and copyright law.\n• Understanding the pitfalls of using AI-generated images under the current EU copyright framework.\n• How to use AI to create visuals in a responsible and ethical manner. \nLevel: Foundation \nPrevious knowledge required: None \nRegister here

SUMMARY:Scientific Publication Planning and Good Publication Practice
DESCRIPTION:Monday 12th October @ 13.00 CET \nWebinar Title: Scientific Publication Planning and Good Publication Practice \nPresenter: Mark Simmonds \n  \nAbstract: The objectives of the webinar will cover identifying key components of an effective publication plan and understanding the professional medical writer’s role in implementing tactics. Participants will be introduced to the publication plan as a strategic roadmap for disseminating research and clinical findings. It comprises key elements such as target audiences\, preferred journals or conferences\, timelines\, and the overall strategy for sharing information effectively. Key steps in publication planning include research into publication and data gaps vs competitors\, aligning on publications objectives and audience targets through cross-functional team alignment\, and creating content tailored to specific audiences. The crucial role of professional medical writers will be covered\, through providing effective publication planning and delivery\, including technical\, linguistic\, and process expertise under author direction aligned to Good Publication Practice (GPP). Highlights of GPP 2022\, the latest iteration\, will be presented\, which sets author and sponsor commitments and adds the latest guidance on publications beyond clinical trials (health economics and outcomes\, real-world evidence)\, social media\, plain language summaries\, inclusivity and patients as authors. \n  \nKey takeaways for participants: \n· Recognise the core components of an effective publication plan\, including audiences\, target journals and congresses\, timelines\, data gaps\, and dissemination strategy. \n· Understand how cross-functional alignment and audience-tailored content support strategic\, ethical\, and impactful communication of research and clinical findings. \n· Appreciate the professional medical writer’s role in publication planning and delivery\, applying technical\, linguistic\, and process expertise under author direction and aligned with GPP 2022. \n  \nLevel: Intermediate \n  \nPrevious knowledge required: none \n  \nRegister here
