Spanish term or phrase: Crónica
I'm not sure how to translate "crónica" in this context.

There is no sentence, it is just a heading in a volume on a university conference that took place in 2010.

It is a heading for a section of the publication that includes a section entitled "preparación y inauguración", obviously describing the work done in preparation for the conference and the opening ceremony; a section describing the "Primera Jornada" and "Segunda Jornada" of the conference and a brief summaries of the central themes of the conference and a final section on the next conference, to take place in five years time.

Other than "summary" or "summary report", I haven't really come up with anything much as yet...

Thanks for any ideas!

In that case "schedule" or perhaps "overview" should cover it!

Sequence of events, events and activities arranged in chronological order

Overview may refer to:
A generalized treatment of a topic, cf. summary, outline

Notes to answerer
Asker: Hi Rich, Thanks, but unfortunately I already have a separate "Agenda" section, which specifies all the themes to be covered in a bit more detail. This is a bit more general, sort of telling the story of what happened briefly...

Asker: Overview, sounds far more appropriate, thanks! Certainly the best idea so far. It's a bit more descriptive than a schedule.

Wrap-up / wrap up


Explanation:
wrap-up

To wrap up is to complete or finish something, like a project. (verb)
An example of wrap up is when you finish an article you have been writing and you spell check and send it in.

A wrap up is a summary or final action. (noun)
The summary of the topics covered by the speakers at the end of a meeting is an example of a wrap up.
