Science is universal and the challenges to take on have, for a great part, worldwide implications. The Académie
des Sciences has always enjoyed close scientific relations with other nations, whether as personal relationships
between historical figures, specific relationships from one State to another, or through its action inside international
scientific organizations and other interacademic networks that have been gradually put in place in the course
of the 20
th
Century. It now sustains this cooperative mission within its
Delegation for International Affairs
, under
Member and Vice-President of the Académie Daniel Ricquier’s leadership.
