Discover how gatekeepers connect scientists to world-changing technology, speeding development.

This nonfiction study explains how a national network of communication stars—gatekeepers—links local researchers to foreign science and technology. It shows how tightly connected gatekeeper networks can bring external knowledge into everyday work, across geographic divisions and centers within a country.

The book also offers practical guidance on building these networks. It argues that foreign research experience, not foreign study alone, strengthens a country’s ability to import technology. It provides evidence on how sabbaticals, fellowships, and long-term international engagement sustain communication, and it discusses how to integrate foreign nationals into domestic networks without forcing a perfect fit as gatekeepers.

- How gatekeeper networks form and how they spread information through a lab or organization.
- Why hands-on foreign research experience builds enduring technology transfer links better than classroom study.
- Practical steps for governments: support abroad research, promote foreign sabbaticals, and encourage travel to maintain networks.
- How to integrate foreign nationals and use gatekeepers as buffers to make expertise relevant locally.

Ideal for policy makers, research managers, and scholars studying technology transfer and development.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the concept of 'technological gatekeepers', the key intermediaries responsible for the flow of scientific and technological information from research institutions abroad to those in developing countries. Through a detailed study of an agricultural research institute in Ireland, the author provides empirical evidence for the existence and effectiveness of these gatekeepers. They are found to be well-integrated into external networks connecting them to foreign information sources and internal networks dispersing this information among colleagues domestically. The author emphasizes the two-step flow of information as a more effective transfer process than direct connections and suggests strategies for the development of gatekeepers. Ultimately, this book demonstrates how technological gatekeepers play a crucial role in enabling developing countries to access and apply advancements in science and technology for their socio-economic development.
