Sorbonne Universités, association of academic institutions in Paris, France
Sorbonne Universités is a group of universities and institutions in Paris that brings together several schools, each with its own focus and history. The schools offer study programs in humanities, social sciences, languages, arts, science, medicine, and engineering across multiple locations throughout the city.
The Sorbonne itself began in the Middle Ages as a center for clergy and scholars, growing over centuries into a leading European university. The modern group Sorbonne Universités formed in 2010 and took its current shape in 2018 when two major universities merged into a single institution.
Sorbonne Universités shapes the look and daily use of the Latin Quarter, where historic buildings stand alongside modern facilities. The place draws students from around the world each day, creating a lively setting where ideas and conversations flow in many languages.
The various locations are well served by public transport, particularly areas in the Latin Quarter and near the Jussieu campus. Visitors can move freely through public areas and often attend free lectures or exhibitions that happen regularly throughout the year.
Sorbonne Universités participates in the 4EU+ alliance, connecting it with universities in Prague, Warsaw, Heidelberg, Milan, Geneva, and Copenhagen. This partnership lets students and researchers work across borders and share knowledge with colleagues throughout Europe.
