Description
This opportunity, anticipated for December 2026, is a major transnational call supporting research and innovation in Quantum Technologies (QT) under the QuantERA program, co-funded by the European Commission and over 30 national research funding agencies. The program aims to foster high-quality, collaborative research addressing both foundational quantum phenomena and the translation of quantum science into practical technologies and products. Proposals must align with one of two topics: Quantum Phenomena and Resources (QPR) or Applied Quantum Science (AQS). Projects are expected to address one or more areas such as quantum communication, simulation, computation, sensing, metrology, or general quantum science, and are evaluated based on excellence, impact, and implementation.
