ZAGREB, Sept 3 (Hina) - The former US Defence Secretary William
Perry held a lecture titled "Technology and Economic Performance -
Developing National Technology Base" in Zagreb on Thursday.
The lecture was delivered at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering
and Computing.
Earlier during the day, Perry was awarded an honorary PhD degree by
the Zagreb University Chancellor Branko Jeren.
Perry, a doctor of mathematics, eminent scientist and professor at
the University of Stanford, is better known as the US Defence
Secretary from 1994 to 1997.
He is recognised as the chief constructor of America's stealth and
smart weapons.
Another area of his scientific and expert work refers to issues
concerning the national and global security policy, which is in the
focus of his study at the University of Stanford department for
engineering and economic systems and operational research and at
the institute for international studies.
Perry's exceptional scientific achievements are one of the reasons
why Zagreb University decided to award him the title of honorary
doctor.
Another reason for this promotion is Mr Perry's exceptional
contribution to the development and strengthening of military
cooperation between the United States and Croatia, at a time which
was of special importance for Croatia, said Prof. Dr. Kresimir
Cosic.
Thanks to Mr Perry, special forms of cooperation in the area of
military personnel training have been developed, enabling Croatian
officers and civil officials to attend US military academies and
other institutions of higher education, in line with NATO
standards, Cosic said.
What kind of advice can the United States give to Croatia so that it
could develop its technology as successfully as possible.
Perry believes that there are three important pieces of advice - the
first one is that technological supremacy is achieved by developing
information technologies, the second that the key role in that
process is played by leading technical universities, and the third
one is a successful transfer of technology into industry.
