RITERM 2016 is a symposium aimed at researchers and professors, undergraduate and graduate students, research groups and institutions, public and private, and all those interested in terminology and its applications. The topic of the XV RITERM Symposium, which took place in São Paulo (Brazil), from the 18th to the 21st of October 2016, tries to show that terminology, often linked to science and scientists, is also takes place in the day-to-day activities: industry, business, administrative activities, education, sport, gastronomy, handicrafts, etc.

In this context, Rosa Estopà was in charge of the lecture  "Health literacy: the importance of Terminology" on the 21st of October.
