  • Keep up to date

    A newsletter from SENSE drops into members’ e-mailboxes once a month. Each newsletter brims with news about the society, training opportunities from sister societies, and notices of various kinds. There are also handy links to upcoming SENSE events and links to the latest blog posts. And if you haven’t been on social media for a while, the newsletter provides an insight into that as well.

    About three times month, SENSE sends out notices about upcoming events, society business, and important news from the industry. Members can also access past occasional mails via the website.

    SENSE members who use Facebook and LinkedIn can join SENSE’s members-only Facebook and LinkedIn pages. Around 100 members are on the Facebook group and around 150 members are on the LinkedIn group. SENSE also has a public presence on Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter, where our social media manager very regularly posts news about SENSE events, events from sister societies, and various other interesting posts related to our industry. These pages are accessible to the public.

  • Get-togethers

    SENSE regularly hosts meetings for members based on region or special interest. These meetings can be in person or online. There are several SIGs (special interest groups), such as one for educators, for medical translators and editors, for academic editors, for starters, etc.

    The society hosts workshops about 3-6 times a year that are open to both members and the public. Some of these are in person, while others are in the form of webinars. Some workshops are interactive, while others feature a guest speaker.

    An established tradition in SENSE is our annual summer social and our annual winter dinner. At these two events, members may bring their partners or a guest. The summer social is usually some kind of touristy outing. The winter dinner may be a formal sit-down or an informal buffet dinner.

  • Reaching out

    Potential clients can use the SENSE freelance register to find suitable freelance translators, editors, interpreters, copywriters, etc. etc. from among SENSE members. The register is right there on SENSE’s public website. Any member of SENSE may join the freelance register for no extra charge.

    SENSE members are encouraged to make contact with other members. That is what being in a society is all about. All SENSE members can search for or browse the list of current SENSE members. As a member, you can edit your own profile page via our website and ensure that only the information that you wish to reveal, are visible to other members.

    The society has had a monthly newsletter pretty much since the beginning in 1992. Most of these newsletters have been preserved and can be viewed by members via the website. This is a very interesting way of getting to know the society and its members, or to get new ideas from past events and activities.

Utrecht Unconference

From 09 November 2024 09:30 CET until 09 November 2024 18:00 CET
Hits: 3191

SENSE and ITI’s Dutch Network are pleased to join forces and support the Utrecht Unconference, which will be an all day event on Saturday 9 November at In De Ruimte, an inspiring location on the Oudegracht in the heart of Utrecht.

Following the model of the Cardiff Translation Unconference, the event focuses on harnessing the collective experience and expertise of all attendees rather than a single presenter. The Utrecht Unconference is aimed specifically at editors, translators and interpreters, who can suggest a topic for discussion (in English or Dutch) which attendees then vote on. The most popular topics, which can be anything related to your practice, are then discussed as a group. Facilitators will be on hand to make sure the conversation flows and everyone gets as much out of the experience as possible.

The day price, including refreshments, lunch and a borrel, will be €99. Registration is now closed.

The programme starts at 10:00 (doors open at 9:30) and end at 17:00, followed by a borrel.

Members of SENSE and members of the ITI Dutch Network pay only €79 for this event.

  • SENSE members: to receive this special price, make sure you're logged in when you register.
  • ITI Dutch Network members: to receive this special price, please contact your representative for the discount code.


If you are a SENSE member, please log in before registering for this event.
