The Laboratory for Experimentation and Analysis of Food (Laboratório de Experimentação e Análise de Alimentos - LEAAL) of the Nutrition Department of The Health Sciences Centre in the Federal University of Pernambuco creates and develops technology for the productive sector. In the industrial societies, technology transfer implies the communication of relevant technological information to the production of goods and services. Besides the barriers that interfere in the final communication of information, its mechanisms of visibility are often inadequate in both traditional and computerized systems of communication of technological information. This work deals with technological information , its creation, development of goods and services, including its transfer to and assimilation by society. Actions and changes needed for the laboratory to make the mechanisms of technological transfer more visible and appropriate, as far as university and external community is concerned, are presented.
