honorary institution / organisation / agency Explanation: Serving the public good, more or less Pursuing a meritorious mission -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2006-04-09 16:18:38 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I suppose you could also use "hono(u)rary body", which should fit the meaning of the Italian word more closely. Here are some examples I found googling. Hope this helps. "Academy of Leisure Sciences. Founded in 1980, the ALS is an honorary organisation aimed at recognising, supporting, and establishing networks and forums for scholars who are committed to the intellectual advancement of recreation, tourism and leisure studies." http://www.sports.stir.ac.uk/NewSite/Highlights.htm "The Property Advisory Group is an honourary body, composed of practitioners, lawyers and commercial landlords which advises the UK government on matters concerning property and the property market in the UK." http://www.sosig.ac.uk/roads/cgi-bin/tempbyhand.pl?query=961... "...a professional honorary organisation of over 6,000 motion picture professionals', covering its various activities and departments. Includes details of the annual Oscar ceremony, the academy awards database..." http://www.bfi.org.uk/filmtvinfo/gateway/categories/internat... |
