Can anyone correct fragments of my translation, please

0 I have translated a text from polish and now I wonder whether it sounds naturally in english. If anyone could have a look at those sentences and tell me whether I am right, I would really appreciate it. Thanks in advance 02br
00here are my questions. 02br
001. First of all how can I name "international conferences, seminaries, workshops and meetings with research workers " - projects, undertakings, activities? 02br
002.close contacts or close relations with institutions or both? 02br
003.popular and specialized publications or popular and specialist publication? 02br
004.Does this sentence sound naturally:"The centre was founded thanks to prof dr hab Elzbieta H. Oleksy’s diligence who is currently its manager" diligence or maybe rather efforts? 02br
00Thanks once again. 0-

01. First, it would be 'seminars' rather than 'seminaries'. The list you give is so various, that I would use the general word 'activities' or perhaps 'professional gatherings'.

  • 'Contacts' would be made from time to time on demand, while 'relations' would be ongoing and relatively continuous, so you can choose the word appropriate to your context.
