Sorbonne University, born from the merger of Paris-Sorbonne and Pierre and Marie Curie Universities, is a world-class, multidisciplinary, intensive research university. Sorbonne University covers the entire disciplinary spectrum of literature, medicine and science. Rooted in the heart of Paris, with a regional presence, it is committed to the success of its students and is committed to meeting the scientific challenges of the 21st century and to passing on the knowledge from its laboratories and research teams to society as a whole.
Thanks to its nearly 55,000 students, 6,700 teacher-researchers and researchers and 4,900 administrative and technical staff who support the University on a daily basis, Sorbonne University aims to be diverse, creative, innovative and open to the world. Together with the National Museum of Natural History, the Compiègne University of Technology, INSEAD, the Pôle Supérieur Paris Boulogne Billancourt and the CIEP, it forms the Sorbonne University Alliance.
The diversity of the members of the Alliance Sorbonne Université promotes a global approach to teaching and research. It promotes access to knowledge for all and develops numerous joint programmes and projects in initial, continuing and lifelong learning in all disciplines.
