European Academies in World War I / 2 days

Posted in Public sessions

Guerre

A Cycle of international conferences co-organized by the Nationale Akademie der Wissenschaften Leopoldina, the Académie des Sciences and the Royal Society, June 8, 2017 and June 9, 2017, from 10 am to 6 pm Université de Lorraine, Metz - For any information:

Although the subject of science, especially chemistry, in the Great War has attracted a good deal of attention in recent years, the role of academies in the conflict has been littlestudied. Following an inaugural conference, held under the auspices of the Academia Leopoldina in Halle in 2014, two further conferences are planned for the spring of 2017 and the autumn of 2018 to continue work in this neglected area. Like the initial gathering in Halle, the conferences in 2017 and 2018 will be broad in their international coverage, and they will seek to maintain a strongly comparative focus. They will take account of the full range of the sciences and technology, including the medical sciences, and set the work of academies in a broad context embracing the relations between the diverse military, industrial, and political elements that bore on the conduct of the war.
