The Institut Rayonnement-Matière de Saclay (Iramis) is one of the Institutes of the Direction de la Recherche Fondamentale (DRF) of the CEA. It comprises 6 units, some of which are joint units (5 UMRs) with CNRS, École Polytechnique, ENSICAEN and the University of Caen. Iramis is based at the CEA Paris-Saclay Centre, as well as at the École Polytechnique and the University of Caen.

Research themes

The IRAMIS teams carry out research in physics and chemistry, at the crossroads of academia and the CEA’s missions, as well as societal issues and innovation. Its research focuses on new energy technologies, quantum technologies, new materials, complex systems and radiation-matter interaction.

Although the research carried out at the Institute is mainly fundamental in nature, it is open to the creation of economic value and technology transfer. To carry out this research, the IRAMIS teams use first-rate scientific facilities and equipment and are also very active around the Major European Instruments.
