This study deals with actual trends and developments in the research of community interpreting in the global, but also in local context. In the general introduction we try to define the term community interpreting according to the latest trends in this field. Our goal is to set some basic features, which can help to create a universal definition of the actual content of the term community interpreting. In the next part we concentrate on the development in the world and try to analyse the most significant research projects in the field. Finally, we show a short overview of the most important initiatives in the local context en introduce our own starting research, which will be focussed on the analysis of the actual state of community interpreting in Slovakia.
