 East -West Transfer of Technology during the Cold WarDescription_Technology Transfer Session-v5-finalThe Cold War period (1947 - 1989) was a transition from wartime constellations to low-tension ones. Circumstances during the Cold War were strained but without open military conflicts between the two big political blocks. Although these years have been described as a period of icy relations between East and West, the period, nevertheless, had another – cooperative – side. Under the epithet “peaceful co-existence”, various kinds of technology was exchanged across the “Iron Curtain,” and this activity is the theme of our session proposal for which we invite contributions from you.The session proposal will be submitted to the Programme Committee of the 41st ICOHTEC Symposium, which will be held in Brasov, Romania on 29 July – 2 August 2014. The general theme of this meeting is “Technology in Times of Transition”. Potential contributors are invited to send their paper proposals to Timo Myllyntaus (timmyl@utu.fi) by 20 January 2014.&#160;
