Sorbonne University

aid: sorbonne
name: Sorbonne University
description: 'Sorbonne University (Sorbonne Université) is a public research university in Paris, France, formed in 2018 from
  the merger of Paris-Sorbonne and Pierre et Marie Curie universities. It serves roughly 53,000 students across faculties
  of Arts & Humanities, Health Sciences, and Science & Engineering, and is ranked #81 in the QS World University Rankings
  2025. Sorbonne University does not operate a centralized public developer portal; its programmatic surface is delivered
  through open-science infrastructure: the HAL Sorbonne Université open archive (harvestable via the standards-based OAI-PMH
  and HAL search APIs) and a Sorbonne University collection on the national Recherche Data Gouv Dataverse, which exposes a
  live Dataverse Native REST API. An official GitHub organization exists but currently hosts no public repositories.'
