Don't get me wrong, I know. It would be cumbersome if I tried to explain it in the target text. I believe you're right about leaving it in French.
philgoddard Dec 17, 2015:
It's not "cumbersome explanations", it's context :-)
Depending on the wider context, and who this document is for, it may be appropriate to leave it in French. All the English documents I found did.
Mark Bossanyi (asker) Dec 17, 2015:
Yes, thanks Phil, I saw that. I was hoping someone might have come across a nifty term for it in English, so as not to have to enter into cumbersome explanations.

If you Google this, the first hit tells you the meaning.

Chair of academic attraction

In English, it seems to be necessary to specify what sort of attraction; otherwise you could end up covering Alton Towers, Disneyland, business start-ups and population growth.
