TECHNOLOGIC TRANSFER PARTICULARITIES IN THE BEGINNING OF THE THIRD MILLENNIUM. A SARS-COV2 PANDEMIC PERSPECTIVE
Abstract
Technology transfer is one of the most important vectors for promoting technical progress in a society and for economic growth in general. It is a very complex process, with major implications on the standard of living of a population and on the level of competitiveness for a national economy. In this paper we propose to analyze the main meanings of the concept of technology transfer, the concrete ways of achieving it, the actors that are involved as well as the ways of evaluation. Particular attention will be paid to the particularities of technology transfer in the current context of the medical (and economic) crisis generated by the SARS-VOC2 virus pandemic.
