Multidisciplinary institutes and initiatives

The Sorbonne University Alliance currently boasts several multidisciplinary thematic institutes and initiatives. Bringing together several institutions, they seek to make a range of disciplines work together, freeing them from traditional divisions and thus providing researchers from different backgrounds with the opportunity to compare their knowledge and experience.

The institutes are financed partly by the Idex (the French Excellence Initiative) and partly by external project funding (ANR, European Commission, industrial partners, etc.)

The Sorbonne University Alliance brings together twelve higher education and research institutions covering all disciplinary fields of arts, humanities, medicine, science, engineering, technology and management. The diversity of its members promotes a comprehensive approach to teaching and research. It supports access to knowledge for all and develops numerous joint programs in lifelong learning across all disciplines, in research and innovation, and in the use and dissemination of their results.
