The Agency also cooperates with the French Commissariat for alternative and atomic energy (CEA).

On the basis of two public calls in 2016, a total of 13 collaborative research projects were co-financed in the fields of new energy technologies, nuclear energy, adaptation to climate change, fundamental physics, life science and global safety.
