umbrella organisation Explanation: forum/platform/association for collaboration association/federation of cooperative organisations umbrella organisation Trying to think out of the box a little, but maybe I'm thinking astray. Anyway, FEANI, The European Federation of Engineers' organisations, uses "federation", which seems like a reasonable alternative here as well. "Association" might also work as an alternative to "organisation". |

peer agreement (net): +1collaborative organisation, systematic collaboration Explanation: I know what you mean! ;-) Professionals and colleagues 'collaborate' a lot in English. Nothing to do with 'collabos' in France during WW II and whatever they were called elsewhere. It's over 50 years ago and time to give the word its proper meaning back internationally. It never really lost it in the UK. Professional support groups? Collegial support? Collaboration platform? I pepper my texts with more or less home-made expressions of this sort, or use the official name if the organisation has one. (shortened to 'the union' 'the association' or whatever where suitable...) Another expression is ERFA Group (probably from German Erfahrung rather than the Scandinavian) - but these are networks and not always what you mean here. Deciding on something that fits the text and keeping it all through is important too! -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 22 hrs 25 mins (2004-05-27 07:04:36 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Using \'collaboration\' for the formalised \'working together\' releases \'cooperation\' for the less formal, (also) helpful sort of working together, simply \'being cooperative\'. |
