Letter from Professor I. Prigogine to Elie Wiesel regarding an Elysée conference and future collaborations
This letter, dated January 22, 1988, is from Professor I. Prigogine to Elie Wiesel. Prigogine expresses his sincere gratitude for the hospitality extended to him and his wife during a conference at the Elysée, which was organized by President Mitterrand and Wiesel. He emphasizes the importance of the meeting in fostering strong connections between political power and the research community, noting the conference's significant success. Looking ahead, Prigogine proposes two conditions for any future meetings: the need for a precise and well-prepared subject, and the importance of inviting specialists, including Nobel laureates and experts from organizations like the United Nations or UNESCO, especially when discussing topics such as technology transfer to the Third World or North-South cultural polarity. He suggests that the distinction between Nobel laureates and non-laureates should not be the basis for selecting participants.
