The SNTT (SOCRATES Network for Translator Training) is a network that connects universities that have departments of translation and/or interpreting. It was formed under the ERASMUS programme of the European Commission in 1990. It focuses on the mobility of students and teaching staff.

History
After its founding under the ERASMUS programme of the European Commission in 1990, one of its member universities organised the coordination of the SNTT. Money for students was distributed via national agencies and money for administration purposes went to a coordinator who distributed it further.

After the European Commission has changed this scheme, the rectors of the universities directly receive the money.

In addition, the SNTT organises scientific and cultural activities to attract more students from other countries to a certain destination that was not too popular before.

Members
SNTT members are universities from the following countries: Austria, Belgium, Switzerland, Germany, Denmark, Spain, France, Greece, Italy, Ireland, Norway, Portugal, Finland, United Kingdom.

Meetings
The SNTT members meet once a year. The secretary of the last official coordinator provides the proceedings.
