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 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 20th Century. It now sustains this cooperative mission within its Delegation for International Affairs (Délégation aux relations internationales), under Olivier Pironneau's leadership.
