The CERFACS Strategic Research Plan is based on a core of generic activities called ‘Strategic Axes', which provide methods, tools and building blocks. A highly fruitful interaction between science and application is encouraged through the Application Axes, developed in close collaboration with CERFACS associates.

Strategic axes:
Applied axes:
- HSAA: HPC simulation of multiphysics flows with advanced numerical methods
- H2: Hydrogen transition and safety
- SETT: Simulations for the energy transition for transportation (saf, blends and e-fuels)
- HAZ: Environmental and industrial hazards, monitoring and modeling, from local to global scales
- CLIM: Climate variability and climate change from global to local scales
