Italian term

Comunicazione (in this context)

Italian to English Medical Medical (general) Type of conference participation
Comunicazione all’88° Congresso della Società Italiana di Neurologia


This item is from a CV, listing the physician's achievements. It is a sort of presentation made at a medical conference. "Communication" sounds odd, and I don't THINK it's a poster presentation, but they are very precise in differentiating "presentations" from "comunicazioni".

Any ideas?

Hope all of you are well, and thanks in advance!

STAY SAFE!

I found this term in use just the other day. I'd use "presenting a paper" but it would almost always include the actual title of the talk. Here is the context:

"Gli Autori dovranno indicare come nome del file il
cognome dell’Autore principale, specificando se si tratta di una comunicazione orale o di unposter (es. SMITH_Communication or SMITH_Poster).

After just a few hours, SO MANY great answers!! Thanks VERY MUCH, all of you! I wish I could give points to you all. I am going to wait until tomorrow before closing this, partially because I don't want to decide on points. Thank you ALL so much.

Hi, Here is an explanation of the meaning of "comunicazione" in this context:
https://www.treccani.it/vocabolario/comunicazione/
d. Breve relazione su argomento letterario, scientifico, ecc., in un’accademia, durante un congresso e sim.: fare, presentare, stampare una comunicazione.

It's a brief report on scientific topic during a congress. Maybe: "Paper at the 88th Congress..."?

p.s. I must admit I didn't know this meaning of the word, although my mothertongue is Italian...

communication

It can mean "presentation" if this is anything to go by - it actually shows a picture of someone giving one.

However, that appears not to be the case here, as you say they make a distinction between the two.

Then I found this, which tells you how to submit a paper which is simply added to the records of the conference:

la decisione della pubblicazione sugli Atti online open access della comunicazione presentata al Congresso spetta al CD [which must be a committee of some kind]
http://www.sisfa.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/Norme-comuni...

And this:
All abstracts will be considered a "personal communication" to the conference attendees. Abstracts will not be published in the proceedings, but will appear in the program and on the conference website.

It's possible they also submit a poster, but the Italian doesn't say that, so I'd keep it literal.

Participation

Could it indicate some kind of involvement in conferences without having attended or taken part as a member/more active part? An idea

Paper/Report

Hi, I've chosen a low confidence level because English is not my mother tongue.. I think that "paper" might be right in this context, though

As I said in the Discussion, I've found this definition for "comunicazione" in the Treccani dictionary:
https://www.treccani.it/vocabolario/comunicazione/

d. Breve relazione su argomento letterario, scientifico, ecc., in un’accademia, durante un congresso e sim.: fare, presentare, stampare una comunicazione.

I've found also this translation in the Hoepli dictionary
(= relazione) report, paper

• presentare una comunicazione ad un convegno to *give a paper at a conference
