It pursues research, development and innovation across four areas—low-carbon energies, defense and security, information technologies, and health technologies—supported by a cross-disciplinary mix of engineers and researchers that integrates fundamental science with technological development. Its mission includes strengthening Europe’s technological research environment and ensuring the long-term effectiveness of France’s nuclear deterrent. Based in Paris, the CEA operates across ten laboratories located in the Paris region and other parts of France, including Rhône-Alpes, the Rhône valley, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, Aquitaine, Central France and Burgundy. The organization emphasizes regional identities and maintains partnerships with other research centers, local authorities and universities to advance its programs.
