The CEA Paris-Saclay (formerly CEA Saclay) center is one of nine centers belonging to the French Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission (CEA). The Saclay site hosts the administrative headquarters of the CEA. Historically, it was the heart of French nuclear research since Frederic Joliot-Curie founded it after the Second World War. Its campus was designed by the architect Auguste Perret. It is now a part of the confederation of Paris-Saclay University, along with other organizations including CentraleSupélec, CNRS, ENS Paris-Saclay, HEC Paris, and the IHES. From Wikipedia
