Descripcion del Puesto:

-Difundir la experiencia y los conocimientos adqueridos por el proyecto mediante la organizacion de seminarios, reuniones y eventos, asi como la produccion de documentos tecnicos.
I can only think of "spreading" , "circulating" and "sharing", but none of these seem quite right here.
TIA

: I've had sentences nearly identical to this one! I settle for share, too. Sometimes "make public" will fit.

: both "promote" & "share" would go in this translation, with small differences in meaning, perhaps the idea of sharing would imply more informal means of dissemination (another option) & more participat, whereas promote is somewhat more of an active means

me parece que es el más exacto equivalente de difundir.
promote y spread también podrían llegar a funcionar.

provide information about/on
A long-winded option for you, but given the long list of ways to "difundir" in your sentence, I think this is what is actually meant here.
Something went wrong...
