Description
This grant is designed to establish a national knowledge network for quantum technology in Norway, with the aim of fostering collaboration among research organisations, industry, and public sector stakeholders. The network is expected to create meeting places, facilitate early-phase idea development, and promote applications of quantum technology. Activities should enhance competence building, professional development, and networking nationally and internationally (especially within the Nordic region). The network must be open to all approved Norwegian research organisations and relevant business/public sector actors, and should organize at least one annual meeting for professional discussion and networking.
