English translation: Register of Educators and Researchers in Economics

Spanish term or phrase: Economistas Docentes
El signatario es miembro del Registro de **Economistas Docentes** e Investigadores (REDI-CGE).

He pensado en unirlo con un guión: Economists-Teaching Staff, pero no creo que sea correcto. Mi problema es que docente en español se refiere a una persona que enseña (ya sea en la universidad, el colegio, el instituto, etc.) y no sé cuál puede ser el equivalente en inglés en este caso.

El original es de España y la traducción es para Reino Unido.

Gracias

English translation:Register of Educators and Researchers in Economics
Explanation:
As an umbrella term for both university lecturers and school teachers, I guess you'd have to use educators. I'm not massively keen on it, but it's commonly used now.

Thanks Simon! I think this is as general as "docentes" in Spanish.

Explanation:
Normally, "docentes in economics"refers to those who are lecturers at university, that is, professors of economics . However, there are teachers that lecture at technical institutions and possibly at secondary school who should also be included.

Explanation:
'Teacher-reseachers' is commonly used and appears to fit just fine in this context.

Hope this helps!

Rather than a mere compilation of essentially two separate lists, I believe the source text may refer precisely to teacher-researchers, ie those who engage in BOTH activities.

Another option may be 'teacher-economists', ie those who engage in both activities.

Asker: Thanks, Marcelo. I think that the word "educators" expresses the idea better.
