In the World War Two and also (a fortiori, specifically) after this dramatical “marker of history” – in the post-world war period, market by the “cold war” (1945-1956 – 1989/2990) the creation, dissemination, deployments of knowledge and the useful /practice/ in the world, and a fortiori in societies in transition of East Europe were extremely complexes (separate, in interaction; in space, in time, et al.).

In this long, non-linear period it was conceived by eminent persons (clever, humanist, visionary; influence-al) the trans-national & trans-ideological institution ICOHTEH. From the very beginning, Romania /RSR/ was directly, specifically involved. Many contacts were made with USA, Soviet Union, UK, West Germany, France, Spain, et all., persons, institutions; the presidency of this new, modern, glorious Institutio was exerted long time by a Romanian prominent scientist-engineer and academician; the participation of Romanian researchers to the scientific meetings were numerous and relevant.

After the end of the cold war the Romanian participation to ICOHTEC was not at all decreased; the program of the Romanian Section for the near future is now achieved: it is promising.

In this complex elaboratum are presented relevant aspects of: historical evolution, learning, museology, pedagogy, connections; also, some views about the future.
