  • Value proposition

    The CEA is the French Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission ("Commissariat à l'énergie atomique et aux énergies alternatives"​). It is a public body established in October 1945 by General de Gaulle. A leader in research, development and innovation, the CEA mission statement has two main objectives: To become the leading technological research organization in Europe and to ensure that the nuclear deterrent remains effective in the future.

    The CEA is active in four main areas: low-carbon energies, defense and security, information technologies and health technologies. In each of these fields, the CEA maintains a cross-disciplinary culture of engineers and researchers, building on the synergies between fundamental and technological research.

    The civilian programs of the CEA received 49% of their funding from the French government, and 30% from external sources (partner companies and the European Union).
    The CEA had a budget of 4,3 billion euros.

    The CEA is based in ten research centers in France, each specializing in specific fields. The laboratories are located in the Paris region, the Rhône-Alpes, the Rhône valley, the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region, Aquitaine, Central France and Burgundy. The CEA benefits from the strong regional identities of these laboratories and the partnerships forged with other research centers, local authorities and universities.

    Carbon-low Energies, Information Technologies, Defense and Security, and Health and Environment

  • Original language

    Le CEA agit pour la souveraineté scientifique, technologique et industrielle de la France et de l’Europe dans quatre domaines clés : les énergies bas-carbone, le numérique, la santé, la défense et la sécurité, en s’appuyant sur une recherche fondamentale d’excellence. Réunissant 20 000 collaborateurs et implanté au cœur des territoires, sur 9 centres équipés de très grandes infrastructures de recherche, le CEA bénéficie d'un large éventail de partenaires académiques et industriels en France, en Europe et à l'international. Il se classe au 1er rang des organismes de recherche français en matière de dépôts de brevets en France et en Europe (source : Classement Clarivate).
