Sorbonne University | Mimi Bebe

Sorbonne University, a modern iteration of a historic institution, carries the profound legacy of Pierre and Marie Curie, pioneers in radioactivity and Nobel laureates. While the original Université de Paris (from which Sorbonne University emerged after a 1970 split and a 2018 merger) was a cradle of scientific discovery, the contemporary Sorbonne continues this tradition across a vast array of disciplines. Its campuses, particularly those housing science faculties, are hubs for cutting-edge research, building upon the Curie's foundational work in physics and chemistry. Students today engage with fields that directly or indirectly trace their lineage to the Curies' groundbreaking investigations into atomic structure and radioactive elements.
