Elisabeth Angel-Perez: ’We must recenter science and knowledge at the heart of society.’

Elisabeth Angel-Perez, Vice President for Research and Innovation, presents Sorbonne University's main research priorities, along with its current projects and future challenges. What are the main lines of research at Sorbonne University?. Sorbonne University has a strong core of disciplinary research, which is enriched by an interdisciplinary approach promoted by the university. With its three faculties and the transversalities that this creates, Sorbonne University knows how to illuminate new challenges that sit at the interface of various disciplines. Our institutes and initiatives promote this interdisciplinary research, bringing new issues to the forefront and enriching disciplinary research with methodologies borrowed from other disciplines. The second primary research axis is the transferability of our research-powered by its inventiveness and creativity-that allow it to have a strong impact on society. This is what we are seeking to promote through the implementation of the University Innovation Pole (PUI), as well as through our promotion of research content in the arts and humanities, medicine, and science and engineering.
