Abstract: This article aims at showing how, just after WWII, the dynamics of two institutes located in Strasbourg converged in pioneer conventions between Strasbourg University and the CNRS. Conventions were signed around 1955, i.e. almost fifteen years before what took place in France. The two laboratories involved in this brief compared history are the CRN (Nuclear research Center), belonging to Strasbourg University and led by Serge Gorodetzky, and the CRM (Macromolecular Research Center), belonging to the CNRS and led by Charles Sadron. At that time both laboratories implemented their research in new fields and new disciplines, and their development, although unsimilar, required new kinds of links between research and teaching and interdisciplinarity and industrial innovation. Therefore new ties were to be established between the two institutions. The same pattern was successfully used in the conventions. Backed by a strong tradition of academic research, Strasbourg can be considered as an experimental place in French research, that gave the keynote to modern research policy.
