The exhibition was prepared on the occasion of the “Heritage of the European Science Foundation” seminar held at the Historical Archives of the European Union. The seminar was organised by the European Science Foundation, the HAEU and the University of Strasbourg Institute for Advanced Study to celebrate the 40th anniversary of ESF on 11-12 April 2016. The documents and photos on display, such as the letter by the convener R. St. J. Walker of the Preparatory Group, demonstrate the variety of ESF fonds deposited at the vaults of the HAEU.
