German term

Abteilung für Technik und Öffentlichkeitsarbeit

German to English Social Sciences Management
An Austrian CV of a medical doctor.

An entry:

"1995 – 1999 Leitung der Abteilung für Technik und Öffentlichkeitsarbeit 2. Weltkongress für Psychotherapie"

Öffentlichkeitsarbeit is PR, but how does it go with Technik? Does Technik here have the meaning of 'origanizational aspects?'

AllegroTrans is quite right, but I'll tell you for free that Technik means technology.
AllegroTrans Aug 20, 2010:
Hi links - this was to do with a World Congress - so look it up via Google and you will most probably get the official English version
That is the kind of research you are supposed to do before posting here
Of course, if you cannot find anything let us know

Division of Technology and Public Relations

It does not seem likely that technik means something else. It also sounds more English to say of than for. I searched a little on google but could not find an official translation of this for you. The website for the world congress for psychotherapy is not that revealing in regards to this.
Note from asker:
Thanks, Dave, for googling for me :) It's quite late here, and I am already exhausted from today's heat and 10 CVs that I had to translate... Good night :)

Thanks for noticing that Elisabeth. On a lot of google searches for their name and department, it kept talking about university departments all the time so it made me a little iffy at first, but let's go with department then.
