Spanish term or phrase: Unidad de sentido
Hello. I am working on a paper on teaching and research at universities and I have this term for which I cannot really find a good way to put it.
This is the context: "creemos en la posibilidad de un país en crecimiento que en el marco de una política científica-tecnológica y educativa articule su unidad de sentido en torno a las prioridades de la política económica y social." Somewhere I found "consonant purpose", but I am not sure if it is correct. Can anybody help? Thank you!
