Abstract
THE Institute pour la Recherche Scientifique en Afrique Centrale (I.R.S.A.C.), which was created on July 1, 1947, at Leopoldville, is a public corporation that is to say, it is sponsored by the Government but ruled by a board of twenty-five administrators. At the beginning of 1948, the Institute was endowed with 200 million Belgian francs (£129,000), to be used for the erection of buildings, and another 200 million francs to be kept in Government bonds. This initial endowment will be supplemented with annual subsidies, the minimum at present being 25 million francs (£141,240).
