Abstract	Translating Rare Dementias A question-and-answer session on CenTraS’ collaboration with UCL’s Rare Dementia Support (RDS) service. The translation collaboration between UCL’s Centre for Translation Studies (CenTraS) and the UCL-led Rare Dementia Support service (www.raredementiasupport.org) was launched in November 2021. Run as a simulated translation agency, the project gives MA and MSc students at CenTraS a unique opportunity to practise and implement the skills they learn in their translation classes in a "real-life" scenario. Their translations will be published on the Rare Dementia Support service website this July and will help disseminate key information on rare dementias worldwide. In this session, we will explain how we initially structured and launched this extracurricular project. We discuss how we have secured funding to pay our students and how we assign translation and quality assurance tasks. We will talk through the issues we have encountered and the impact that the project has had internally and externally. We will also share the lessons we have learned as project managers and hear about student experience from a student translator who prepared Russian translations for the Rare Dementia Support service website. As the project approaches the end of its second year, we discuss the future of such initiatives within CenTraS and their value as mentored professional experience for our students.
