Le cycle des Grandes Conférences des Archives Henri Poincaré est conçu
comme un espace de rencontre entre chercheurs et grand public. Il couvre de
nombreux champs disciplinaires : philosophie, épistémologie, éthique,
histoire des sciences et des techniques, histoire des institutions,
sociologie des sciences et des organisations, etc.

Nous vous invitons dans ce cadre à écouter l'exposé suivant, suivi d'une
discussion avec le public:

*RESUME*
Faced with two crises of planetary dimensions, climate change and the
SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, politicians responded nationally and scientists
responded internationally. Why?
Science has been cosmopolitan and collective since at least the seventeenth
century, but there’s big difference between exchanging letters,
publications, and occasional visits among citizens of the Republic of
Letters, on the one hand, and, on the other, subordination of individual
and national research traditions, priorities, and practices to binding
agreements reached by international disciplinary bodies empowered by no one
but themselves. Yet starting in the late nineteenth century, such
international governance efforts arise in the sciences (and some of the
humanities): chemists meet to decide on rules of nomenclature for new
compounds; botanists and zoologists meet to define plant and animal
species; astronomers meet to make an astrophotographic map of all stars
visible from earth c. 1900; meteorologists meet to agree on a global
classification of clouds. Much was at stake: professional reputations,
commercial interests in the manufacture of compounds and instruments,
institutional interests in the management of specimen collections, research
agendas for years or even generations to come.
Yet in the end, resolutions were passed and, more significantly, honored
for decades, despite the disruptions of war, revolution, decolonialization,
and the complete remaking of the geopolitical order in the course of the
twentieth century. No diplomatic treaty achieved as much. In the last
quarter of the nineteenth century, some scientific disciplines, including
astronomy and meteorology, created a template for how international
scientific co-operations that laid the groundwork for future international
governance.
