Up to €4,500,000 total; typically one grant awarded for a project of up to 48 months.

Supports a Europe-wide coordination hub for quantum technologies, enhancing leadership, fostering collaboration, and providing strategic insights and outreach for the Quantum Technologies Flagship.

--- ## Description This opportunity funds the continuation of the Quantum Technologies Flagship Coordination and Support Action (CSA), aiming to establish and operate a comprehensive observatory and coordination hub for quantum technologies in Europe. The CSA will build on existing infrastructure to elevate European leadership, provide systematic reporting on global quantum advancements, and guide European strategy through regular assessments. The project will support Flagship projects and researchers, foster synergies and knowledge sharing, coordinate between the EU and Member States, and implement communication strategies for diverse audiences. Additional activities include data collection and dissemination, updating strategic research agendas, organizing major events like the European Quantum Technologies Conference, and promoting sustainable growth and international collaboration in quantum technologies. --- ## Due Dates - **Opening date:** June 10, 2025 - **Deadline:** October 2, 2025, 17:00 Brussels time (single-stage submission) --- ## Funding Amount - **Total budget available:** €4,500,000 - **Expected number of grants:** 1 - **Typical project duration:** Up to 48 months --- ## Eligibility - **Who can apply:** - Consortia including legal entities from EU Member States or Horizon Europe Associated Countries. - Proposals are encouraged to involve partners with experience in standards development, and to include EU Widening Countries where possible. - See [Horizon Europe General Annex B](https://ec.europa.eu/info/funding-tenders/opportunities/docs/2021-2027/horizon/wp-call/2025/wp-14-general-annexes_horizon-2025_en.pdf) for detailed country eligibility. - **Other requirements:** - Admissibility, financial, and operational capacity criteria as per Horizon Europe CSA rules. - Integration of gender dimension is not mandatory but encouraged if relevant. - Subject to restrictions for the protection of European communication networks. --- ## Application Process - **Submission:** Single-stage electronic submission via the [EU Funding & Tenders Portal](https://ec.europa.eu/info/funding-tenders/opportunities/portal/screen/opportunities/topic-details/HORIZON-CL4-2025-03-DIGITAL-EMERGING-01?isExactMatch=true&status=31094501,31094502&order=DESC&pageNumber=3&pageSize=50&sortBy=startDate). - **Templates and guidance:** - [Standard application form (HE CSA)](https://ec.europa.eu/info/funding-tenders/opportunities/docs/2021-2027/horizon/temp-form/af/af_he-csa_en.pdf) - [Evaluation form (HE CSA)](https://ec.europa.eu/info/funding-tenders/opportunities/docs/2021-2027/horizon/temp-form/ef/ef_he-csa_en.pdf) - [Online Manual](https://webgate.ec.europa.eu/funding-tenders-opportunities/display/OM/Online+Manual) - [Programme Guide](https://ec.europa.eu/info/funding-tenders/opportunities/docs/2021-2027/horizon/guidance/programme-guide_horizon_en.pdf) - **Evaluation:** Based on excellence, impact, and quality of implementation (see [Annex D](https://ec.europa.eu/info/funding-tenders/opportunities/docs/2021-2027/horizon/wp-call/2025/wp-14-general-annexes_horizon-2025_en.pdf)). --- ## Additional Information - Proposals should: - Build on or collaborate with existing European and international quantum initiatives (e.g., QUCATS, EuroQCI, EuroHPC). - Contribute to the spread of excellence across Europe, especially by involving widening countries. - Include plans for the dissemination of EU quantum success stories and organization of major events (e.g., EQTC). - Encourage participation of partners active in relevant standards committees. - The CSA is expected to provide research support, business intelligence, strategic analysis, event organization, and communication activities to various stakeholders. --- ## External Links - [Call Topic Details & Submission Portal](https://ec.europa.eu/info/funding-tenders/opportunities/portal/screen/opportunities/topic-details/HORIZON-CL4-2025-03-DIGITAL-EMERGING-01?isExactMatch=true&status=31094501,31094502&order=DESC&pageNumber=3&pageSize=50&sortBy=startDate) - [Horizon Europe Programme Guide](https://ec.europa.eu/info/funding-tenders/opportunities/docs/2021-2027/horizon/guidance/programme-guide_horizon_en.pdf) - [General Annexes (2025)](https://ec.europa.eu/info/funding-tenders/opportunities/docs/2021-2027/horizon/wp-call/2025/wp-14-general-annexes_horizon-2025_en.pdf) - [Partner Search Tool](https://ec.europa.eu/info/funding-tenders/opportunities/portal/screen/how-to-participate/partner-search?order=DESC&pageNumber=1&pageSize=50&sortBy=lastModified&isExactMatch=true&type=ORGANISATION,PERSON&frameworkProgramme=43108390) --- ## Contact Information | Type | Details | |---------------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Funder | [European Commission](https://commission.europa.eu/index_en) | | General Enquiries | [Contact the European Commission](https://commission.europa.eu/about-european-commission/contact_en) | | Research Enquiry Service | [Research Enquiry Service](https://research-and-innovation.ec.europa.eu/contact-us/research-enquiry-service_en) | | National Contact Points | [Find your NCP](https://ec.europa.eu/info/funding-tenders/opportunities/portal/screen/support/ncp) | | IT Helpdesk | [Portal IT Helpdesk](https://ec.europa.eu/info/funding-tenders/opportunities/portal/screen/support/helpdesks/contact-form) | ---
