The Universities and Research Management Agency (AGAUR) and the Universities and Research Language Policy Office have published the Glossary of management terms for research and innovation together with the language services of the University of Barcelona (UB), the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC) and the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB). This publication aims to contribute to the professional practice of research managers in the Catalan R+D+i system and to streamline the use of Catalan in that field.

The glossary consists of over 300 Catalan terms, together with their Spanish and English equivalents and also contains synonyms and abbreviations. The terms have been selected according to the communicational requirements of those working in research and innovation management, and for the training of future workers in that field. A team of specialists from AGAUR met with experts from the language services of the UB, the UPC and the UAB to draw up the definitions.

AGAUR has also produced a suggestions form for the incorporation of new terms or comments on the definitions.
