MET offers training workshops, an annual conference, networking and other opportunities of continuing professional development for its members.
The activities of the association are guided by six objectives, summarized as follows: MET was founded in Barcelona, Spain, in the spring of 2006 after an initial, exploratory meeting the preceding autumn.
It is registered in the Generalitat de Catalunya and has a legally binding charter (written in Catalan but translated into English).
MET is a member of the Spanish Network of the Anna Lindh Euro-Mediterranean Foundation for the Dialog Between Cultures.
In 2013, a limited group of MET members and their colleagues published the edited volume Supporting Research Writing: Roles and challenges in multilingual settings[15] (based on a panel discussion at METM09).
Additional publications by MET members related to the annual conferences, including reviews of the meetings and papers based on the presentations, are listed on the association's website.
