With the Académie des Sciences in 2015

THE ACADÉMIE: ALWAYS IN TUNE WITH ITS TIME

An illustrated Book to Celebrate 350 Years of Science!

In this 232-page work, produced throughout 2015 and presented

before the Académie des Sciences on 2 December 2015, the

Académie recounts its own scientific and political history, drawing the

topical portrait of an institution with a reaffirmed role and redefined

missions –of an Académie des Sciences able to weave new relations

on the international side and fully restore its position in a scientific

world echoing the major challenges of our century.

The younger reader may also take interest in a small work dedicated

to the Académie, produced in 2015 by the publishing house Nane

Éditions in partnership with the Académie on the occasion of its

350

anniversary.
