Funding was a major obstacle in the early days of the ENS. All contracts with the venue and companies were negotiated and signed by G. Said. The local organizing committee, headed by Professor Martin, who also designed the ENS logo, some members of the EC, and the Said Family helped with all local activities before and during the congress.
The budget was unusually small with revenues coming from the ENS, the City of Nice and other local agencies. The support from the pharmaceutical industry was only about 5% of the total revenues
