Hola
Me gustaría saber cómo puedo decir este término en inglés. Se va a emplear en un congreso en el que, durante su apertura se reconocerá la gran andadura de un científico durante unos 15 minutos y se le dará una placa.
He encontrado tribute to, pero sólo he encontrado en casos en los que la persona está muerta. Y Ceremony me temo que sea para actos más largos de 15 minutos.
Muchas gracias por su ayuda
Un saludo
Ester

thanks for your note! to keep the translation short I suggest "(brief) special award ceremony" or "presentation of special award"
--------------------------------------------------

another (short) option:
"special presentation in honour of [person's name]"

--------------------------------------------------
"presentation" can be understood in two ways: the presentation of an award, and the giving of a presentation (delivery of a speech). So "presentation" should convey the meaning of "acto".

Note from asker:
| Well, it has to be in a programme, how could i shorten this? In Spanish they say "acto de reconocimiento a..." it could be reconocimiento or homenaje. Thanks a lot! |

testimonial speech
I honestly think 'tribute' is fine too; it's not just for dead people.

Or even just 'testimonial'

Testimonial
I would use "testimonial" on its own. Though I would agree with Deborah's sentence.
Please note that retiring footballers and sports persons recieve a "testimonial" match in the honour [where the gate proceeds are given to them as a "pension"]
