About Sierterm

The whole of science is nothing more than a refinement of everyday thinking.”
Albert Einstein (1879-1955).

Sierterm is an R&D Project funded by the Universidad Europea de Madrid for a year with the aim of creating a terminological trilingual glossary (terminology records) for translators working in the fields of Intelligent Systems and Renewable Energies. More specifically, Sierterm concentrates on:

• Compiling documents for term identification and extraction

• Uploading these terms into a collaborative platform that allows for public access and collaboration.

The team at Sierterm is made up of the following researchers:

Mr. Fernando Contreras (Principal Investigator)*, Ph.D. in Scientific and Technical Translation (Universidad Autónoma de Madrid)
Mrs. Celia Rico*, Ph.D. in Linguistics (Universidad de Alicante)
Ms. Almudena Revilla*, Ph.D. in Information Science (Universidad Complutense de Madrid)
Ms. Paola Nieto*, Ph.D. in Didactics of Interpreting (Universidad Europea de Madrid)
Mr. Cristel Chevillard*, Master in Science of Management (HEC Faculty Grande École and Business School, Paris)
Mr. Manuel de Buenaga**, Ph.D. in Physical Sciences (Universidad Complutense de Madrid)
