A look back at the launch of the SupraFusion program: a day of innovation and scientific cooperation.
On March 31, 2025, CEA and CNRS officially launched SupraFusion, an ambitious research program supported by France 2030, with funding of 50 million euros over 7 years. The aim is to develop high-temperature superconductors, essential materials for the future offusion energy and other strategic technologies.
The day was divided into two parts. In the morning, a tour of the CEA’s facilities enabled participants to discover the equipment and projects already underway as part of SupraFusion. In the afternoon, the inauguration was held at CentraleSupélec, punctuated by institutional speeches and a round-table discussion led by the four program directors, who shared their vision and outlook for the project.
SupraFusion ‘s mission is to develop the technological building blocks needed to industrialize these materials, demonstrate their reliability on a large scale, and explore their applications in the fusion, healthcare and low-carbon mobility sectors.
This launch marks the starting point of a structuring program, with several actions already underway: the launch of five targeted projects and two calls for projects, with a clear commitment to federating a scientific community around this technology of the future.
