Understanding the Mechanics of the Exchange for Speakers
First, experts must register a speaker profile including topics they are experienced in and subjects they are happy to discuss with students. This profile will be uploaded to the ELIA Exchange database for universities across Europe to access. Once your profile has been approved, universities and organisations will be able to contact you to request your services via the exchange. It’s that simple!
We are dedicated to providing the highest quality of speakers and experts in the language and translation industry. Our mission is to provide an easy way to connect universities, students, and industry professionals with experienced speakers to benefit the minds of the future.
“You are not rich with the figures in your bank account but with the knowledge and skills you can share with others.”
