The French Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission (CEA) is a key player in research, development and innovation in four main areas :
- defence and security,
- nuclear energy (fission and fusion),
- technological research for industry,
- fundamental research in the physical sciences and life sciences.
Drawing on its widely acknowledged expertise, and thanks to its 16000 technicians, engineers, researchers and staff, the CEA actively participates in collaborative projects with a large number of academic and industrial partners.
The CEA is established in ten centers spread throughout France

CEA is a French major research organization providing solutions in four main areas: energy transition, digital transition, technologies for the medicine of the future, and defense and security, built on a foundation of fundamental research. For more than 75 years, the CEA has been committed to strengthening the scientific, technological, and industrial sovereignty of France and Europe, ensuring a better controlled and safer present and future.
Through its Technological Research Division (DRT), the CEA acts as an innovation accelerator serving industry, delivering concrete solutions to support the transitions we are undertaking: decarbonized energy, healthcare of the future, responsible digital technology, security, and defense.
The Laboratory for Sensor Autonomy and Integration (LAIC) at CEA-LETI primarily focuses on the development of sensor systems. The team’s activities lie at the interface between hardware (electronics, piezoelectric or optical excitation of M&NEMS), software (signal processing, artificial intelligence), and systems (electronic architecture, mechanics, mechatronics, packaging).
