The Academy of Sciences owes its origin to Colbert's plan to create a general academy. He chose a small group of scholars who met on December 22, 1666 in the King's library, and thereafter held twice-weekly working meetings there. On August 22, 1795, a National Institute of Sciences and Arts was put in place, bringing together the old academies of the sciences, literature and arts. In 1816, the Academy of Sciences became autonomous, while forming part of the Institute of France; the head of State remained its patron. The Academy proceedings were published under the name Comptes Rendus de l'Académie des Sciences (1835-1965). (more on wikipedia). Located in the heart of Paris (in front of the Louvre), The Académie des sciences had a lot of famous scientific membres. Just cite some of them:
  • Alembert (Jean Le Rond d'), 17 novembre 1717 - 29 octobre 1783

  • Bessel (Friedrich, Wilhelm) 22 juillet 1784 à Minden, Prusse - 17 mars 1846 à Königsberg, Prusse
  • Bohr (Nils, Henrik, David) 7 octobre 1885 à Copenhague - 18 novembre 1962
  • Coulomb (Jean, Marie, François, Joseph) 7 novembre 1904 - 26 février 1999
  • Curie (Pierre) 15 mai 1859 - 19 avril 1906
  • Delaunay (Charles, Eugène) 9 avril 1816 - 5 août 1872
