Institutions and Societies for Teaching, Research and Popularisation
Proceedings of the XXth International Congress of History of Science (Liège, 20-26 July 1997) Vol. XIX
Abstract
This volume is devoted to scientific institutions from the 17th to the 20th century. It consists of three parts: the first deals with teaching and research institutions (universities, technical schools, foundations); the second is about scholarly societies (academies, amateur societies, industrial societies); the last deals with scientific popularisation initiatives, notably those of newspapers. Several papers concern the role of women in scientific communities.
