€53,000,000 total; individual partner cap €1,000,000 (exceptions possible); project duration 24 or 36 months

Supports transnational research projects advancing quantum technologies in foundational science and applied innovation across Europe.

--- ## Description The QuantERA Call 2025 is a large-scale European initiative under the QuantERA III programme, co-funded by the European Commission and a network of national research agencies. Its objective is to support high-quality, collaborative, transnational research in Quantum Technologies (QT), spanning both foundational quantum science and applied quantum innovation. The call targets two main topics: - **Quantum Phenomena and Resources (QPR):** Foundational research in quantum science, novel quantum phenomena, and fundamental physics. - **Applied Quantum Science (AQS):** Translating established quantum effects into technological applications and products, including quantum devices and systems. Funded projects are expected to address one or more of the following areas: - Quantum communication - Quantum simulation - Quantum computation - Quantum sensing and metrology - General quantum science Consortia must be transnational, involving at least three eligible partners from three different countries contributing to the call. --- ## Due Dates - **Call Opens:** September 3, 2025 - **Official Call Announcement:** September 4, 2025 - **Proposal Deadline:** December 5, 2025, 17:00 CET (Brussels time) - **Call Results:** May 2026 - **Earliest Project Start:** June–September 2026 --- ## Funding Amount - **Total Call Budget:** €53,000,000 - **Maximum per Legal Entity:** €1,000,000 (higher possible if justified) - **Project Duration:** 24 or 36 months --- ## Eligibility - **Consortium Requirements:** - Minimum of three eligible partners - Partners must request funding from at least three different countries participating in the call - **Eligible Institutions:** - Universities - Public research institutes, organisations, and centers - Private entities conducting research in quantum technologies - **Additional Notes:** - Each partner must also comply with their national/regional funding agency rules. - The cap for a single legal entity is €1,000,000, unless a higher amount is justified by the project’s needs. --- ## Application Process - **Submission:** Single-stage application via the QuantERA Electronic Submission System (accessible through the [QuantERA Call 2025 page](https://quantera.eu/call-2025/)) - **Evaluation:** International panels for each topic (QPR and AQS), using criteria of Excellence, Impact, and Implementation (minimum threshold: 3 per criterion, 12 overall) - **Selection:** Projects ranked and selected by the QuantERA Steering Committee, with additional prioritization criteria applied if needed (e.g., maximizing funding output, topic balance, inclusivity, widening country participation, gender balance) --- ## Additional Information - **Partner Search Tool:** [Find or join a consortium](https://www2.ncn.gov.pl/partners/quantera2025/) - **Cascade Funding:** Projects are funded through both national agencies and European Commission contributions. - **Topics:** Both basic and applied quantum research are supported; check national regulations for any country-specific restrictions. --- ## External Links - [QuantERA Call 2025 Official Page](https://ec.europa.eu/info/funding-tenders/opportunities/portal/screen/opportunities/competitive-calls-cs/11501?isExactMatch=true&status=31094501,31094502&order=DESC&pageNumber=3&pageSize=50&sortBy=startDate) - [QuantERA Call 2025 Details and Guidance](https://quantera.eu/call-2025/) - [Partner Search Tool](https://www2.ncn.gov.pl/partners/quantera2025/) - [EU Funding & Tenders Portal](https://ec.europa.eu/info/funding-tenders/opportunities/portal/screen/home) --- ## Contact Information | Contact Type | Organization | Email | |----------------------------|-------------------------------------|------------------------------------------| | Call Secretariat | French National Research Agency (ANR) | [maurice.tia@agencerecherche.fr](mailto:maurice.tia@agencerecherche.fr) | | QuantERA Coordination Office | National Science Centre (NCN), Poland | [quantERA@ncn.gov.pl](mailto:quantERA@ncn.gov.pl) | | General EC Inquiries | European Commission | [Contact Page](https://commission.europa.eu/about-european-commission/contact_en) | ---
