Society of Friends of André-Marie Ampère

The Society of Friends of André-Marie Ampère (“Société des Amis d’André-Marie Ampère” in French, SAAMA) is a scholarly society whose aim is to contribute to perpetuating the memory of André-Marie Ampère through all means it deems appropriate, including conferences, publications, commemorations, collection of documents and apparatus, and the creation and development of a museum, the Ampère Museum. Founded in 1930 at the initiative of Paul Janet, a member of the French Academy of Sciences and Director of the “École Supérieure d'Électricité”, the society has been recognized as a public utility by French administration since 1936. In particular, SAAMA is responsible for the management and development of an Electricity Museum, located in Ampère's house in Poleymieux-au-Mont-d'Or, close to Lyon, known as the Ampère Museum. The French Society for Electricity, Electronics, and Information and Communication Technologies owns the premises and is a privileged partner of SAAMA. SAAMA also organizes exhibitions, workshops, and numerous events that contribute to raising awareness of André-Marie Ampère's contributions and disseminating scientific and technical knowledge about electromagnetism and its applications. It also takes care of the preservation and development of the Ampère House-Electricity Museum site. SAAMA also publishes an annual bulletin. The Society has been chaired by various personalities, including Louis Lumière, Georges Darrieus, Maurice Ponte, Paul Delouvrier, Maurice Jacob and Geneviève Comté-Bellot.
