The current health situation and the anti-Covid-19 vaccination campaign that has started raise many questions to which experts from Sorbonne University and University of Paris will provide clear scientific answers.

After discussing issues related to vaccines, their developments and clinical efficacy trials, the experts will look at the question of vaccine strategy by focusing on geriatric aspects, the points of view of caregivers and the attitude of patients before vaccination. Societal and communication aspects in the time of Covid-19 will also be explored to provide a historical analysis, address the ethical questions raised by the vaccine passport or even look at communication and information issues during a pandemic.

Around professors Brigitte Autran and Odile Launay, organizers of this conference, you will find professors Alain Fisher, Elisabeth Bouvet, Renaud Piarroux, Jean-Hugues Trouvin… and many debaters, experts in different fields.

During the conference, discussion times will allow experts from Sorbonne University and University of Paris to debate live with the public and Internet users.

Welcome to Sorbonne University's Faculty of Science & Engineering

A unique combination of courses and expertise

Our international study programmes are organised according to the major disciplinary areas of the faculty. They represent the graduate study programmes that are not strictly conducted in French or that could be suitable (in part) for non French-speaking students. They also reflect part of the diversity of the disciplines involved and the bi- and inter-disciplinary aspects of many of the courses we offer.

 

Research & Innovation

We rely on disciplinary skills and on interdisciplinary approaches to renew concepts, methods and research subjects and to focus on some of the crucial issues faced by our societies: transformations affecting the very construction of knowledge (data, AI), the treatment of complex objects (the environment, marine and ocean sciences, cultural heritage) or our contributions to addressing societal challenges (climate change, healthcare).
