APPLICATIONS
Selection process AT A GLANCE
Any eligible scientists may apply to one of the 4 challenges.
Deadline on May the 31st
Applicants should provide a full CV, a letter of intent (or motivation letter) and a preliminary description of a possible research project based on the selected Science Impulse challenge. The selection will focus on the assessment of the intellectual capacity and creativity of the applicants, on the ground of their CV and motivation letter. Regarding the pre-project, the jury checks only the consistency with the challenge description at this stage.
Deadine on June, the 30th
No later than June 10th, around 3 candidates per challenge will be invited to further prepare their applications. Each selected candidate will benefit of 2 slots, each of up to 2 hours, to exchange by videoconference (preferably) or phone call with experts from the CEA Tech research teams. The goal is to help each candidate to design a research project and write a 3-page proposal leveraging on all relevant opportunities and skills of CEA Tech facilities and teams.
From July the 1st to July the 15th, each of these candidates will defend his/her project during a one-hour audition, either in Grenoble, or in Paris area (or by visioconference). The jury will assess:
- the candidate capacities to propose and lead the research project.
- the relevance (for the field) of the proposed research.
- the possible impact of the project (ambition).
- the consistency of the balance between risks and targeted advances.

A LEADING RESEARCH & TECHNOLOGY ORGANIZATION
The CEA: A major global center for research and innovation
The CEA, the only government research organisation in France in the Derwent Top 100 Global Innovators™ (2018, 2019, 2020, 2022), catalyzes and accelerates innovation for France’s industrial economy. Companies in virtually all industries (transportation, healthcare, safety, energy, telecommunications, microelectronics, and more) turn to the CEA to help them develop differentiating products using innovative processes and materials.
The technologies developed at the CEA are protected by a broad portfolio of patents. And, with regional offices across France, the CEA is positioned to bring greater innovation to local partners and support value creation and long-lasting jobs. To respond to growing demand for innovation, the CEA is also ramping up support for its own startups, which play a vital role in transferring the know-how and technologies developed at CEA labs to the market. More than 100 startups have been created to date; 75% of them are in deep tech, which means that the path to the market is still long and will require substantial investments in R&D and prototyping.
