Hi,

It's not a sentence,as it has no subject.eg Who is publicizing'?
I assume 'publicize' is not meant to be an imperative.

Is it just one item in a list of points?

The words suggest that 'Catalonia' is not part of the general public. Why not?

The words suggest that 'Catalonia' is not part of the general public. Why not? You are right.

Hi Clive,
Thank you for your reply. The thing is that is a traslation from a Spanish text.
Let me write you the text just for once in Spanish, please.

Beneficios de las propuestas de colaboración para QF (Qatar Foundation)
Benefits of the proposals for collaboration for QF

There a few other benefits in here. It is just one in a list of points.

Dar a conocer en Cataluña y al público en general, la importancia que tiene en los objetivos de QF la ciencia y la investigación médica.
Reforzar la imagen de QF en Cataluña
Publicize in Catalonia and to the general public, the importance of scientific and medical research to the objectives of QF. Reinforce the image of QF in Catalonia.

On a second thought, I guess it is not very well expressed even in Spanish, The text has been sent to me. Since 'Catalonia' is a place, instead of 'the general public' it should be, 'and other places' maybe around Spain or some other countries. Is that so? That's the problem right?
