Catalan term or phrase: difficult phrase 2
Un cop bloquejada la via de crear centres propis o assumir els que fossin traspassats, i limitades les possibilitats que l’entitat emprengués autònomament projectes propis de recerca, s’anava obrint pas la idea que l’IEC s’havia d’esforçar a oferir una casa comuna de la recerca als Països Catalans, ****un escenari per damunt dels compromisos conjunturals de les universitats i els centres de recerca que afavorís els intercanvis i les col•laboracions interdisciplinàries***

This is my draft so far, but I'm stuck as from the ****, I seem to have run out of ideas:

Blocked its options for creating its own research centres or incorporating centres devolved to Catalonia and limited its possibilities for taking the initiative in terms of research projects of its own, the idea began to germinate that the IEC should act as an umbrella research body for Catalonia and the other Catalan speaking regions, ****fostering academic exchanges and interdisciplinary cooperation in scenarios that went beyond the undertakings of universities and research centres.

IEC = Institut d'Estudis Catalans

Explanation:
Again, very literal, but I am sure you can work on it and do better :)

A perspective beyond the cultural blocks of Universities and research centers that enhances the exchanges and the interdisciplinary collaborations.

Have a great one.
