CEA, KEY CONTRIBUTOR TO HIGHER EDUCATION

National Institute for Nuclear Science and Technology ► Initial and continuous professional training for all disciplines associated with the nuclear field: 22,000 teaching hours per year ► Assists in exporting training: 7,500 students and trainees

(of whom 30% are not French)

► Partnerships with universities, businesses, foreign safety authorities, European training networks, etc.

IAEA's top collaborating centre for education and training in Europe

BRINGING THE PUBLIC CLOSER TO SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY

Each year, CEA is in contact with nearly 100,000 people as part of the actions that it

• rganises for teachers, students, elected
• fficials and the general public

At CEA centres: career days, visits, speed-dating, hosting interns, teaching training, conferences at all levels, Science Festival, etc. More than 600 multimedia resources accessible to all www.cea.fr
