The Institute of Intercultural Management and Communication or ISIT, formerly Institut Supérieur d’Interprétation et de Traduction, is a French Grande École of Paris-Panthéon-Assas University.
In 1957, ISIT was founded as an association. This school offers diploma programmes in Intercultural Management and Communication, Translation, and Conference Interpreting. Graduated students from ISIT find employment in various professional fields.
ISIT is a member of CIUTI (Conférence Internationale des Instituts Universitaires de Traducteurs et d’Interprètes (International Permanent Conference of University Institutes of Translators and Interpreters)),[1] FESIC (Fédération d’Écoles Supérieures d’Ingénieurs et de Cadres) (French Engineering and Business Management Schools Network)[2] and CGE (Conférence des Grandes Ecoles),[3] a non-profit association of engineering schools, management schools and higher education institutions offering other specialities.
History
1957: establishment of ISIT (Institut Supérieur d’Interprétation et de Traduction – Higher Education Institute of Translation and Interpreting) as part of the Catholic University of Paris, in the same year as the Treaty of Rome. The goal was to train professionals to act as mediators of understanding and culture.
1981: ISIT became a member of CIUTI (International Permanent Conference of University Institutes of Translators and Interpreters), which brings together the world's top educational institutions; then of FESIC (French Engineering and Business Management Schools Network), in 2005.
2006: ISIT's diploma became a 5-year diploma, accredited by the French government.[4]
2008: ISIT changed names, becoming the Institute of Intercultural Management and Communication. This better conveys the range of areas in which its graduates find work. Over the years, the school indeed expanded its programmes to adapt to the transformations of the professional world and companies’ needs. Since then, ISIT has offered programmes in intercultural management and communication. Nonetheless, the school had retained its original initials: ISIT.
2009: ISIT's accreditation was renewed. The school joined the network of European Master's in Translation (EMT), set up by the European Commission.
2010: ISIT and the United Nations signed a Memorandum of Cooperation[5] to encourage access for ISIT students to linguistic careers within the UN. The schools joined the CGE (Conférence des Grandes Ecoles)[6] and signed a protocol to participate in the Banque d’épreuves littéraires (arts and literature examinations) given by the Écoles Normales Supérieures.[7]
2011: ISIT launched the first international Cordée de la Réussite, a French initiative to encourage access to higher education for young people from disadvantaged backgrounds. The school signed a "double degree" agreement with Beijing Language and Culture University, and teamed up with HEDAC (a law school at the Versailles Court of Appeal) to create a customised training course in intercultural legal communication.
2013: ISIT's accreditation was renewed for the postgraduate diploma programmes in translation (the specialisations in Intercultural Communication and Translation and in Intercultural Management) and conference interpretation. Accreditation was also renewed for the language & legal studies degree.
2015: ISIT opened new facilities in Arcueil thereby leaving Paris.
