Abstract
Development is a long-term dynamic process that can and must be oriented towards the achievement of the desired society, through the adoption of a pattern of development. Each specific pattern of development requires its own supporting scientific and technological patterns because of its structural content, the priority given to its problems, its methods and criteria for solving them and for implementing the solutions. Scientific and technological autonomy is thus a consequence of and necessary condition for the achievement of a genuine national lifestyle. Every society has the right to define its own lifestyle on the basis of cultural, historical traditions, values, economic and natural characteristics.
