Académie des Sciences, Arts et Belles-Lettres de Dijon

In 1775, it became the "Académie des Sciences, Arts et Belles-Lettres de Dijon."

From 1855 to 1869, it was called the "Académie Impériale des Sciences, Arts et Belles-Lettres de Dijon" before returning in 1870 to the name "Académie des Sciences, Arts et Belles-Lettres de Dijon."

In July 1750, it sponsored a prize competition on the question of "whether the reestablishment of the sciences and the arts contributed to purifying morals."

Jean-Jacques Rousseau won the prize by arguing in the negative, in his Discourse on the Arts and Sciences.

The Académie des Sciences, Arts et Belles-Lettres de Dijon still exists, and still offers the prize.
