  I- Main theme and objectives of the conference 1. The first conference of universities signatories of memorandums of understanding with the United Nations Department for General Assembly and Conference Management (MoU universities) was held in Salamanca (Spain) on 3 and 4 May 2011. It allowed the Department and its partner universities to lay down the foundations of their collaborative effort aimed at aligning the training of language professionals with workplace requirements, and to examine in detail actions that need to be taken in order to achieve such an alignment. 2. The second conference of MoU universities was hosted by the University of Mons (Belgium) on 3 and 4 May 2012. 3. As indicated in its concept note (available online at www.moumons2012.be/concept-note) the second conference of MoU universities provided members and partners of the network with an opportunity to focus on particular skills and areas that need additional work in order to achieve common goals in the training of language professionals. 4. The overarching theme of the conference was “Toward an Agreed Inventory of Skills for Translators and Interpreters”. Topics on the agenda included gaps in language A (the candidate’s main working language) and how to address them; technological aspects of language work and issues related to the training of trainers. 5. The main expected outcomes of the conference were: (a) a clear and functional organizational structure of the MoU network; (b) practical recommendations on how to address gaps in language and enhance the training of trainers; (c) a commitment to continue working together for the realization of common goals.
