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.
