# CNRS

A research organization with 25,000 to 50,000 employees. Where it sits among its peers, the technology it runs and how to reach its people.

By Enrich.chat Editorial. Updated October 21, 2026.

**Short answer:** CNRS (cnrs.fr) is a research organization with 25,000 to 50,000 employees. Its public technology footprint includes Microsoft 365, Facebook Login, Cedexis Radar and NGINX.

## How big is CNRS?

CNRS has 25,000 to 50,000 employees. Among the research organizations on this site it sits among the largest. Each dot in the figure is one of its peers, placed by size; the orange dot is CNRS.

**Figure: Where CNRS sits among research organizations.** A strip of dots, one for each of 120 peers in research, spread from 2,000 to 2,000,000 employees on a log scale. CNRS is highlighted and falls in the 25,000 to 50,000 employees range among the largest.

*Peers in research placed by employee count on a log scale. Sizes are rounded ranges from public profiles.*

Headcount on public company profiles is rounded and moves as a company hires, so use the range as a guide, not as a payroll figure.

## Where is CNRS headquartered?

CNRS is headquartered in Paris, France.
