    Area of Science:

    • History of Science
    • International Scientific Relations
    • Franco-German Relations

    Background:

    • Pre-World War I scientific exchange between France and Germany was robust.
    • Academies in both nations featured significant numbers of foreign members, particularly from the opposing country.

    Observation:

    • French Academy of Sciences had 23 German-speaking members (17 German).
    • German academies like Berlin (16), Gbttingen (18), and Bavarian (13) had numerous French-speaking members.
    • The Leopoldina also maintained a substantial French membership due to established policy.

    Findings:

    • These numbers indicate a historically strong and well-developed scientific relationship between France and Germany.
    • The outbreak of World War I drastically disrupted these established international scientific connections.

    Implications:

    • The damage to scientific cooperation persisted, with slow recovery only after World War II.
    • This study will analyze discussions within the Institut de France concerning scientific cooperation measures against Central Powers during WWI.
