SNTT
The SNTT (SOCRATES Network for Translation Studies) is a group of universities that offer trainings for translators and interpreters. It was formed in 1990 under the Erasmus Programme. Its goal is to organize a regular exchange of students and teaching staff. The network holds yearly meetings which are organized by volunteers. The SNTT acts as the successor of the former ICP-Meetings.

History
At the beginning, coordination of the network was taken over by one of the participating universities. Regular meetings were held in order to report about problems and successes. Money for students was distributed via National agencies. Money for administration purposes went to the coordinator who distributed it to the member departments. In 1997, the European Commission decided to change this scheme, and issued contracts to universities as a whole. All departments which before were members of their respective groups were included. Money is now being transferred to presidents or rectors of the universities.
