Online interpreters for Columbia University

Live interpreters for Columbia’s Zoom conference on lead

In a few words

The prestigious Columbia University in New York organized a scientific webinar to present the results of a study on the extent of lead exposure in the French and American population. As the event was held in New York, simultaneous interpretation in French and English was provided for the French audience, who were connected to Zoom and could listen to our French interpreters.

The event

Columbia University in New York organized a Zoom webinar with simultaneous interpretation in French and English to share the results of a study aimed at assessing the amount of lead in our societies. One of the studies presented focused on the aftermath of the Notre Dame de Paris fire. Surface soil samples taken around the cathedral showed high levels of lead in the surface soil following the fire.

On the technical side, ColinguaRSI’s interpreters provided “simultaneous translation”, while our technical team advised the organizers on the implementation of the Zoom session with interpretation channels set up by the University. Our interpreters remained online, on Zoom, while the speakers were in New York.

In addition to our interpreters’ technical skills, their knowledge of the United States and American culture was a major asset in facilitating communication between speakers on both sides of the Atlantic. Our agency regularly works with customers based in the USA, such as the United Nations’s International Organization for Migration (IOM) headquarters in Washington D.C.
