This quick survey has no pretention besides generating some material to feed a coming session of The Interpreting Journal Club with a topic on possible forms of collaboration between interpreters in the work fields (notice the plural please). It is geared towards freelancers involved in language interpreting. If you are not a freelancer, you can still give your opinion in Q6.

What are your views on matters of collaboration? What could be the reasons to collaborate and are you already having some form of collaboration with colleagues? This are the basic topics to clarify here.
