Abstract
This paper is concerned with the transfer of science and technology from Austria to Iran. The method adopted in this study is library research through document analysis. The results show that the transfer of science and technology was accomplished directly through the establishment of D r al- Fon n college (polytechnics) in Tehran, and indirectly in the form of services provided by foreign teachers, military advisers, translators, doctors, the visits made by Qajar kings to European countries, construction of roads, bridges, railways, postal services, mint office, security force, as well as the import of military equipment from Austria and copying them in Iran. The major implication of the present study is to show the impact of the transfer of science and technology from Austria to Iran and its role in the related fields.
