Sorbonne University Alliance

About

Sorbonne University Alliance (Alliance Sorbonne Université) is a group of ten academic institutions associated with Sorbonne University. After the fusion between Paris-Sorbonne University and Pierre and Marie Curie University under the name Sorbonne University (Sorbonne Université) in 2018, the university system Sorbonne Universités changed its name to Association Sorbonne Université and later to Alliance Sorbonne Université. The original group was founded in June 2010 by: Panthéon-Assas University, Paris-Sorbonne University, and Pierre-and-Marie-Curie University. The latter two merged in 2018 into Sorbonne University and Panthéon-Assas is now an associate member. Other members include INSEAD, the University of Technology of Compiègne, the National Museum of Natural History, and research centers such as the French National Centre for Scientific Research, the French Institute of Health and Medical Research, the French Institute for Research in Computer Science and Automation, and the French Research Institute for Development. The group comprises nearly 60,000 students annually, of which 5,000 are Ph.D. students. Members of the group have set up many projects to strengthen relations between them and to create new academic courses and research programs in the fields of science, medicine, law, human and social science, engineering, business management, and arts.
