On January 11, 2017, RIKEN and the French Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission (CEA) signed the CEA-RIKEN High Performance Computing and Computational Science agreement, a five-year agreement to strengthen their partnership in the areas of high-performance computing and computational science. A little more than five years later, on July 28, 2022, both sides elected to extend this agreement after holding the CEA/RIKEN bi-annual on High Performance Computing and Artificial Intelligence workshop. They also added quantum computing to their collaborative research fields.
