Information provider Explanation: Messy source text again. I'm assuminf the context tells you what the university is obliged to provide, and given the nature of the cause, it must be research or information. And then there's the misused 'i forhold til', which means 'compared to' and really makes no sense here - but it improves in translation into "in relation to". So, I offer you "Professional lectures as a part of the Univerity's obligation as information provider (in relation) to society" -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 52 mins (2007-12-11 08:24:04 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Given the above argument, "obligation as information provider" would have been a more accurate target suggestion. |
