The Friends of Sorbonne University Abu Dhabi Association was established under the patronage of HH Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, President of the United Arab Emirates and Ruler of Abu Dhabi. It is supported by the French Ambassador to the UAE.
The Association was founded in Spring 2007 as the result of a collaborative effort between Emirati and French residents in the UAE who are keen to support the development of a prestigious and ambitious project, while bringing together renowned Emirati and French companies as SUAD strategic partners in the outreach and growth of the university.
The Association’s primary role is to seek funds to support the university’s scholarships and to facilitate the transition of graduates into the professional world.
