Meet our partner
In Brazil, we’re proud to partner with Universidade Zumbi dos Palmares, a university dedicated to supporting students with socio-economic challenges and from underrepresented ethnic and gender groups, fostering a more inclusive and equitable environment for learning.
Universidade Zumbi dos Palmares
The main mission of Zumbi dos Palmares University is to include black people in higher education, enabling the integration of this underrepresented group into the real context of society. Initiatives such as the Sanofi NextGen Scholarship contribute to strengthening the participation of young black people in higher education, the corporate environment and society in general.
