VICERRECTORADO DE EMPRESA, TERRITORIO Y TRANSFORMACIÓN DIGITAL

Spanish to English Other Management
Hi,

I wonder if anyone could help with the translation of this vice-rectorate's office:VICERRECTORADO DE EMPRESA, TERRITORIO Y TRANSFORMACIÓN DIGITAL.

It's from a guide for new researchers at a university to explain the organisation of the governing board. I'm not sure how to translate 'territorio' in the name of the vice-rector's office.

Many thanks in advance.

AllegroTrans May 29, 2023:
@ Paul I really don't think you can "leap" from "territory" to "engagement"
Paul Ryan May 29, 2023:
expansion, engagement If you look at the website, it seems that territory is just there because of the rule of 3, so it doesn't really mean anything as such. It seems the job is to assist in raising the profile of the University regionally, nationally an internationally. If you weren't going to go with their own translation, Engagement is a similarly semantically empty term.

philgoddard May 29, 2023:
Not "territory" "Territorio" gets mistranslated all the time. It often means "regional planning", but that doesn't make sense for a university. I wonder if it just means planning or strategy.

This is a translation based on the "official" title of the Vice-Chancellor as it appears on the UMA website so Asker may want to use it, despite the fact that this appears to very bad translation - quite surprising for a university.

If I were to "correct" it, I would go for "Office of the Vice-Chancellor for Business, the Region and the Digital Economy".

neutral philgoddard : I agree about vice-chancellor, but not territory.

The reference below explains:
"The digital territory strategy maps out a plan that will enable territorians to get the most out of digital opportunities and challenges now and into the future."
A territorian is an inhabitant of northern territory.

(La estrategia del territorio digital planifica lo que hace posible que los habitantes del Norte se puedan aprovechar bien de las oportunidades y los retos digitales de hoy y en el futuro.)

Empresa, Territorio y Transformación Digital

El Vicerrectorado de Empresa, Territorio y Transformación Digital nace con el objetivo de diseñar y acometer proyectos de carácter estratégico para la Universidad de Málaga, persiguiendo nuevos modelos de funcionamiento que fortalezcan las misiones de la Universidad. Así, las áreas del Vicerrectorado abarcan tanto cursos, becas y el enlace del mundo empresarial con la formación, como acciones de posicionamiento internacional y la dirección del Campus de Excelencia Internacional Andalucía TECH.

En el marco de este objetivo, se han diseñado y puesto en marcha distintas actividades en cada una de las áreas antes comentadas. Algunas de las más relevantes son la conexión de los estudios universitarios con el tejido productivo a nivel nacional o internacional, la potenciación del doble puente Asia-América y de las titulaciones dobles internacionales, la puesta en marcha de un programa de comunidades de innovación abierta, la articulación de pasarelas entre la universidad y la Formación Profesional y el proyecto Campus de Excelencia Internacional Andalucía TECH.
