About CEA and CEA LIST

The CEA (Commission for Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy, www.cea.fr
) is a French public government-funded research organization in the areas
of energy, defense and security, information, communication and health
technologies. The CEA maintains a cross-disciplinary culture of engineers
and researchers, building on the synergies between fundamental and
technological research, and has the mission of maturing and transferring
technology from theoretical proof of concept to industrial demonstrator for
the benefit of industry. It has about 20’500 employees and an annual budget
of about 5 billion euros.

CEA LIST, is a research laboratory specialized in intelligent digital
systems, is one of the three institutes of CEA Tech, along with CEA LETI
and CEA LITEN. CEA List is located in the heart of the Paris-Saclay
science, technology and university cluster, which will soon house nearly a
quarter of France's scientific research, with a first-class urban campus
and infrastructure integrated into the Greater Paris area.
