To me, the correct way of translating this would be:
"..., always with a view to science and technology contributing to the solution of problems in its area of studies."
This sentence is NOT talking about the academic sector contributing to anything, but it's saying that they should be involved in the scientific know-how in a way that science and technology helps them in their areas of studies.

Claudia. Which pronoun are you referring to? I'm afraid you've lost me a bit.

Note from asker:
| Thank you Margaret. In my view, pronouns and their relation to subject are the trickiest, then the Spanish original doesn't help much either. |
| Me refiero a los 'its' and 'they' or 'theirs'...Usualmente no traduzco al inglés porque no es mi idioma nativo y me pierdo. No era mi intención confundirte, y muchas gracias por tu ayuda. |
| Thanks to everyone for your contributions and expedite help! |
