I'm hesitant with "associate" as well, since it is not clear (to me) if working together is involved. But if collaborare is fine, one should be able to derive collaborator, attested by itself or not. I'm not sure there is a better choice. | |

My understanding is that it is closer to "colleague" than "collaborators". For example, all mathematicians are my colleagues, but only few of them my collaborators. | |
