Liaison is an English word originating from the French that means "communication," "linkage," and "mediation." In the world of technology transfers, the word has the same meaning as "university-industry cooperation." MIT's "Industrial Liaison Program (ILP)" is a famous example.

Note from asker:
| Hi David Would you still use this term if the communication of which they were speaking was internal only? In other words, they evidently have no problem with external communication (i.e. media contacts), it's the internal network that is lacking. Thanks! |

information provider/coordinator
