At Sorbonne University Abu Dhabi, supporting PhD students is particularly important, especially in fields such as statistics and artificial intelligence. These disciplines are increasingly shaping not only scientific progress and technological development, but also the ways in which decisions are made, policies are designed, and complex data is analysed and interpreted across many areas of society.

This grant, offered to promising PhD students who aim to contribute to cutting-edge advancements in the field.
