Sustainable Research

Sustainability forms a core pillar of Sorbonne University Abu Dhabi’s mission, shaping its research priorities, strategic partnerships, and long-term commitment to future generations. As a university committed to creating a more just, resilient, and environmentally sound world, the university places sustainability at the heart of its research agenda. 

The researchers at SUAD are actively addressing some of the most pressing global challenges—from climate change and biodiversity loss to sustainable energy, circular economies, and sustainable societies. The university recognises that lasting solutions require interdisciplinary collaboration, innovation, and a deep understanding of the social, economic, and environmental systems that shape the world. 

Sustainable research at SAFIR is grounded in the belief that academic inquiry must contribute to a thriving planet and society. This commitment is reflected across faculties and disciplines, fostering partnerships that extend beyond campus and translate research into real-world impact.
