Abstract	We report on an experiment carried out among master's students in specialised translation involved in an authentic translation project at the University of Grenoble Alpes. With a view to designing an authentic translation environment for future translators, a collaborative and ergonomic dimension was integrated into translator training. Ergonomics has emerged as a new paradigm in applied translation studies and ergonomic factors have been shown to have an impact at physical, organisational and cognitive levels on how translators work. As a result, ergonomics was deployed through project-based learning and a collaboration was initiated between translator and ergonomics trainers. Second-year master's students were observed by ergonomists while carrying out a three-day translation project commissioned by NGOs. Students worked in a collaborative environment composed of learning labs and geared towards creativity and innovative pedagogy in addition to being equipped with ergonomics-related aspects. Data analysis aims at investigating the extent to which space was used to foster coordination in the translation activity and how work organisation developed between team members -- project managers, translators and reviewers -- and influenced each other's work. Group dynamics is further analysed through personality traits and opens onto perspectives promoting an interdisciplinary approach between translation and ergonomics. (As Provided).
