FOSTERING INTERNATIONAL COLLABORATION
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 in the form of personal
relationships between historical figures or specific relationships from one State to another, or through its action
within international scientific organizations and other interacademic networks that have been gradually put in
place in the course of the twentieth century. It now sustains this cooperative mission within its
Delegation for
International Affairs
, under the leadership of Daniel Ricquier, member and vice-president of the Académie.
