Making CEA-List a great place to work
Over the past few years, we’ve launched several initiatives to provide our employees with an attractive, welcoming work environment that fosters the emergence of new ideas. Whether it is creating spaces where all employees can gather, displaying art inside—and on—our walls, or strengthening our employer brand, we are making CEA-List a place people feel good about coming to every day.
Espace campus, a relaxed gathering place at Nano-INNOV
For the past two years, Nano-INNOV research engineers have been gathering in the new Espace campus. By encouraging informal conversations, the space helps make our workplace more conducive to creativity—and more relaxed. Located at Nano-INNOV, Espace campus is where our employees, academic and industrial partners, and visitors come together.
Espace campus is also an alternative to the inter-company cafeteria, with quick food options selected to meet our employees’ needs, tables where food brought in from outside can be enjoyed, plus cubicles and lounge areas where people can unplug, play board games, and organize a range of activities.Espace campus has become a can’t-miss for all Nano-INNOV staff and visitors looking for the perfect place to take a relaxing break during the workday.
Exceptional gift of sixteen works by artist Claude Mercier
CEA-List, as a member of Paris-Saclay University, received a donation of sixteen works by the French sculptor and painter Claude Mercier (1924-2019). The works are exhibited at Nano-INNOV and Digiteo. This gift from the artist’s widow, Mrs. Colette Mercier, was given as part of Paris-Saclay University’s long-standing art acquisition policy. Over the years, this policy has allowed many University-affiliated institutes and research organizations, including the CEA, to receive donations.
In addition to CEA-List, several University institutions, such as Neurospin and Cachan IUT, will enjoy Mercier’s sizeable collection.Claude Mercier is internationally recognized for his innovative exploration of shapes and materials—particularly metals—that left the artist’s unique mark on the contemporary art world. His works, which combine sculpture and painting, are now bringing a new artistic dimension to our workspaces.This donation is the first step in cultivating a growing collection through further donations.
