The two trainers who accompanied the participants during the training were Ivo Novitasari, M.Hum., and Surya Asra, M.Hum., both of whom are experienced practitioners in the field of academic translation. The material presented not only covered techniques and strategies for translating academic texts, but also introduced the concept of linguapreneurship as a professional development opportunity for students.
