Comment: "This is the closest, though "transfer" does also seem to be frequently used in the context of universities/researchers imparting knowledge to society."

Information provider
Messy source text again. I'm assuminf the context tells you what the university is obliged to provide, and given the nature of the cause, it must be research or information. And then there's the misused 'i forhold til', which means 'compared to' and really makes no sense here - but it improves in translation into "in relation to".
So, I offer you "Professional lectures as a part of the Univerity's obligation as information provider (in relation) to society"

Given the above argument, "obligation as information provider" would have been a more accurate target suggestion.
