Following the merger between Paris-Sorbonne and Pierre et Marie Curie universities, Sorbonne University Abu Dhabi has launched its new brand identity; reinforcing the university’s global position as one of the best Francophone universities and research institution open to the world and directly linked to the mother University in Paris. This identity positively impacts Sorbonne Abu Dhabi’s growth and exposure in the UAE and the region, as it continues to providing the best in Humanities and Science.
Professor Eric Fouache, Vice Chancellor at Sorbonne University Abu Dhabi, said, “The change of the name from Paris-Sorbonne University Abu Dhabi to Sorbonne University Abu Dhabi comes as a result of the efforts made by the different parties to unify Sorbonne University’s identity. We look forward to this chapter in Sorbonne University Abu Dhabi’s journey, as we are positive that this identity will embody our long term mission to attract the most talented students, and support them during their academic journey”.
