aposta pel coneixement i la innovació
Catalan to English
Social Sciences
Education / Pedagogy
It's a slogan used on the new UAB website. Because it's likely to be used for many years to come, and will probably used in other texts, I want to make sure I get a good translation. My current ideas are:
Providing Knowledge and Innovation
Knowledge and Innovation
Supporting Knowledge and Innovation
Encouraging Knowledge and Innovation
Promoting Knowledge and Innovation
I think the last two are the best "up with which" I have come;-). "Providing" seems to imply that the students are passive, so I think I'll avoid that one. For the moment I'm going for "promoting", but I'd like to see what you guys think.
Bon cap de setmana a tothom.

Go for knowledge and innovation / new ways of doing things
As a slogan this would be my version. Personally, I don't like "innovation". It's not a generally accepted word in publicity. But, above all, avoid the gerund (-ing).

Berni Armstrong
: Why avoid the gerund Margaret? it simply implies "This is what we do" and is used in many slogans I have come across.

Promoting Knowledge and Innovation
Jo no hi posaria "encouraging"; no crec que aporti res de nou al primer verb. A més a més, així sona més "catchy". És una idea.
Bona sort

I see what you mean. Jo diria que la teva proposta, amb la coma, és prou bona... Sona bé. És directe, si més no. Més que no pas amb l´\"and\". Sort. Quim.
