German term

wissenschaftlicher und medialer Nachwuchs

German to English Tech/Engineering Media / Multimedia Film production
Context:

An den Filmteams waren auch Studentinnen und Studenten der Hochschule XYZstadt beteiligt. Damit leisten diese Filme auch einen Beitrag zur Ausbildung des wissenschaftlichen und medialen Nachwuchses.

I feel sure that the 'wissenschaftlicher Nachwuchs' here doesn't simply mean 'young scientists' and I'm really rather stumped by how to translate 'medialer Nachwuchs', but I'm struggling to find a term for either. Perhaps it calls for a single term that covers "both", i.e. 'young film makers'?

"So how would you propose..." See my answer (if you haven't already).
David Williams (asker) Aug 5, 2009:
Young scientists and mediums would be an amusing faux pas too ;-)
David Williams (asker) Aug 5, 2009:
So how would you propose putting it? After all, you certainly can't say "the scientific and medial young", for example, and "young scientists and young media students" would be wrong too.
Lonnie Legg Aug 5, 2009:
"wissenschaftlicher"... I wouldn't ignore the adjective, as the inclusion (unless just hot air) likely refers to the students' work in Film Studies--which many German film schools stress.

future professionals in the film production industry

Firstly, I am of the opinion that only one term is required. The complete term refers to those training for the film production profession at university. I would write something like "These films therefore also contribute towards training future professionals in the film production industry.!

future film academic and production professionals

Though the term is a bit cumbersome, I wouldn't ignore "wissenschaftlicher"......as the inclusion (unless just hot air) likely refers to involved students' work in Film scholarship and studies--which many German film schools stress.

Perhaps: "These films thus also offer training opportunities for future film academic and production professionals."

or: "film scholars" (but perhaps a bit too academic;-))

agree Deborah Shannon : But unless we know for sure that all of them are film students, my preference would be 'the academics and media professionals of the future'
