Language: French

The paper deals with international cooperation in the field of history of technology between the Czech Technical University and the Centre français en recherche des sciences sociales in Prague, and several major French institutions (CNRS, EHESS, CNAME), as it has developed during the last twenty years. It shows the possibilities of such professional cooperation in the history of technology and their results, and analyses the contribution of André Grelon to this area. Furthermore, the author analyses two examples (František Křižík and Vladimír List) of Czech professional practical and scientific cooperation with France in the field of electrical engineering during the last three decades of the 19th century and between the two World Wars. The author analyses the participation of Křižík, electrical entrepreneur, in the Exposition Universelle de 1878 in Paris and his subsequent adjustment of differential controller of time of luminous intensity for arc lamp. Thanks to the French experience, the construction electrician List became the organizer of professional electrical life in Czechoslovakia between the two world wars, participating in the creation of the Czechoslovak Electrotechnical Association (ESČ), in a successful electrification of the country and cooperating efficiently with French experts, such as Ernest Mercier, in institutions such as the Société française d’électricité, CIGRE and UNIPEDE. The text shows the benefits of scientific and practical cooperation at international level. In this context, the author highlights the contribution of scientific and organizational work of André Grelon to Czech history of technology.
