Technology transfer plays a very important role in the international cooperation relations among two or more countries, since it may be regarded as one of their main objectives. Every technology transfer implies at least two parties involved: a donor and a receiver.

Likewise the general terms on which the transfer is made, its selection criteria, the policy to be followed concerning its requirements, the conditions required for its success, the subject to be transferred, its adaptability to the real conditions and procedures to be used, employing the new communication and information technologies, are taken into account, but from the point of view of a developing country.
