The correct packaging of information as a prerequisite for successful technology transfer is discussed and it is stressed that research findings should be tailored and packaged in a format and language that is understandable and acceptable to the user. The transfer should be directed at a target audience and the principle in the transfer process is simplicity. The various packaging techniques are described and these include mass media techniques, publications, and more specific techniques like seminars, conferences, demonstrations, education, etc. The important role of personal contact in a technology transfer programme is also stressed. Terminology regarding technology and information transfer is briefly discussed. The availability of the relevant information and the important role of the technology transfer specialist are also briefly examined.

Personal contact has been identified by many authors as a prerequisite for success = ful technology transfer. The most successful way of optimizing personal contact is the involvement of user agencies in research. The paper identifies opportunities for practitioner involvement at the following stages of the research process: the identification of research needs; research planning; research and development; and the packaging of research findings. Practitioner involvement could under certain circumstances limit research application to the needs of one user agency only and precautionary measures should be taken. The major initiative for involving users in research should be ‘push' from research funding organizations, but co-operative ‘pull' from user agencies are necessary for successful involvement.

The aspects discussed were scale up problems, the role of participants in the technology transfer process, the need of involvment of practioners in research and planning, packaging of information in technology transfer programmes. It was shown that technology transfer is a complex process with proper scale up or down as the main technical factor and adequate information transfer as well as the involvement of the potential user as main methodical factors. A prerequisite is an end-scaled view in research and development.

The article actualizes the study of websites as a means to promoting cities around the world and highlights the main structural and semantic characteristics of advertising sites hosted on Internet platforms. The pragmatic role of a lexical unit of advertising texts is investigated. The concepts of website and advertising text are defined, the main ways of information transfer through advertising text were described. Definitions of the concepts such as advertising, advertising text, strategy, website, and related concepts are provided. After researching the selected advertising texts, the structural and semantic characteristics of advertising on websites, and the main ways of transmitting information, such as verb sentences, simple nominative sentences, and elliptical sentences are analyzed. The pragmatic means of advertising campaigns on websites includes constructions, such as Top + Numeral, Must + V., Let + Inf, and so on. Examples of pragmatic websites are also considered. Samples and purposes of using this approach are given. There are various strategies for advertising and promoting cities and countries around the world on Internet platforms. The most popular and effective are the use of different language techniques (motivational, interrogative, negative sentences) and the strategy of the association. The advertising text is noted to embody a communicative and pragmatic guideline. In the advertising message, there is a presentation of the goods to the target audience. Thus, the main load is the language code, which is aimed at a special category of people. A small number of works on this topic indicate the need for a more detailed study of the issue.

Successful technology transfer process is a continuous, interactive process where individuals exchange knowledge simultaneously and continuously [1]. This article concerns the evaluation of Knowledge Management methods to support the technology transfer process. The article focuses on an analysis to be performed in order to choose the best combination of methods to meet technology transfer process needs. This paper will present the elements brought by MOKA (KM method) in order to promote technology transfer, so to solve engineering problems, develop new capabilities and improve work practice using innovative solutions. Indeed, the article will present the different stages of technology transfer process, and how the MOKA methodology responds to the various technology transfer stages criteria.

Two Sectors

Transferring knowledge and technology from academia to industry requires bridging the natural gap between the two sectors: industry, which is fueled by profit to the shareholders; and academia, whose currency is knowledge. The technology transfer process is an essential component of contemporary academic life in most modern countries. However, despite the common argument, it is not necessarily a win-win process. In this paper we shall detail who wins and who loses in this process. In particular, we will study the role of governments, which, on the one hand, finance research and are the only source for supporting basic science, and, on the other hand, dictate and impose policy We will specify some guidelines for responsible technology transfer policy, which contributes to reconciliation of money and science.
