Igor Kudashev

I teach Finnish-Russian translation and interpreting as well as terminological courses (such as Theory and Practice of Terminology and Terminology Management).

My research interests are related to Translation and Interpreting Studies, Terminology and lexicography. I have participated in the compilation of several Finnish-Russian dictionaries and glossaries, and I take an active part in terminology work through various glossary-making projects.

I maintain and develop MyTerMS dictionary writing system which is widely used on terminological courses and in glossary-making projects at Tampere University and the University of Helsinki.

I am an autorised translater from Finnish into Russian and a member of the Authorised Translators’ Examination Board as well as the Court Interpreting Registry Board.
