Acknowledgements

This book stems from an international conference that was held in October 2012 at the Faculty of Social and Human Sciences of the New University of Lisbon. The conference was organized within a three-year research project funded by the Portuguese National Science and Technology Foundation (FCT) and titled The Power of Science: German Science in Portugal, 193345 (grant PTDC/HIS-HCT/111330/2009). The aim of the conference was to go beyond the initial geographic horizons of the project and to foster a broader international discussion on science in National Socialist Germany from the point of view of its relations with Southern Europe, taking into account not only the political internationalization of the fascist regimes, but also the circulation and appropriation of knowledge and the important role that cultural relations and scientific networking played in that process.

As editors, we would like above all to thank our contributors for their patience, time, and effort. We are also grateful for the generous support of the Portuguese National Science and Technology Foundation and of the Faculty of Social and Human Sciences, New University of Lisbon. At Palgrave Macmillan, we acknowledge the enthusiastic support of Emily Russell and the helpful guidance of Angharad Bishop.

A final word of gratitude is justly due to Mikael Hrd, Staffan Mller-Wille, Lus Reis Torgal, and Alfred Opitz () for their friendly support and valuable advice.
