France
In AI Matters project
The French node is situated at the heart of the Paris-Saclay innovation ecosystem, on the NanoINNOV campus, with CEA List serving as the coordinator.
As part of CEA‘s Technological Research Division, CEA List focuses on interdisciplinary research in fields including responsible AI, intelligent robotics, digital instrumentation, software engineering, and systems science.
This node is supported by the PRISM platform, which unites industrial partners and provides cutting-edge manufacturing capabilities.

Our equipment
Main equipment
Laboratory and equipment for testing and experimenting with robotics and AI:
- Digital Twin platform
- Petaflop-class supercomputers designed to run AI applications at massive scale.
- Additive manufacturing unit
Planned investments/infrastructure deployment
A budget of €2m has been allocated to setting up pilot lines for logistics, assembly and disassembly operations, covering an area of 1,500 m². This space includes experimentation areas as well as an immersive environment dedicated to digital twin applications and software engineering.
Subsequent infrastructure deployment: integrated pilot lines for manufacturing operations.
