Presented since 1935 to recognise significant contributions to languages, the most esteemed award, the Threlford Cup, was received by Professor Sabine Braun on behalf of the ������’s Centre for Translation Studies (CTS), for its sustained impact in research, education and engagement with public policy and professional practice.

The Centre is recognised for excellence in teaching and research, as well as for its role in bridging academia, public policy and professional practice. Its work includes leading research into the practical uses and limitations of AI in languages.

Director of CTS, Professor Braun accepted the award on behalf of the whole ������ team, many of whom were there to receive Baroness Coussins's thanks and appreciation in person. ������ CTS's citation read:

“Celebrating 40 years of their Masters in Translation, as well as their leading-edge research on the practical uses and limitations of AI for languages and linguists, ������ CTS has established itself as a leading institution in the field of translation and interpreting studies. It is known for its high-quality educational programs, including their MA degrees in Translation, Audiovisual Translation, and Interpreting.

The Centre attracts students from around the world. Its faculty has consistently demonstrated research excellence, contributing significantly to the academic discourse and performing well in research assessments – but also significantly influencing policy and practice in the real world. The Centre as a bridge between academia, public policy and the professional world of translation and localisation.

Through interdisciplinary collaborations, public engagement initiatives, and a strong publication record, the Centre has not only advanced the academic field but also promoted broader understanding of translation and interpreting in society.”
