TitleNotes on the Conference on International Organisations
Date[1917-1918]
DescriptionBefore the conference between the Royal Society and the [French] Academie des Sciences, states some problems that arise in connection with international scientific organisations:
1. Whether it is possible to resume international scientific meetings after the war in which representatives of the Central Powers would come into personal contact with those of Allied Nations
2. Whether it is possible to continue to recognise 'Central Bureaux' now established in Germany (including the Geodetic and Seismological Associations), which serve as an interchange of scientific information.
Discusses the problems of pan-national scientific organisations after the war, and potential solutions. Talks about the value of not just scientific interchange but personal contact between international academies. Considers the future of the International Association of Academies. Discusses establishing separate Allied or British Geodetic and Seismological Institutes. Notes that the agreements on the interchange of meteorological observations concern the Governments, as the heads of all meteorological offices are Government officials. Thinks that the final decision on these matters will depend on the terms of peace.
