Description
QuantERA supports cross-border research and innovation in quantum technologies through collaborative advanced interdisciplinary science and state-of-the-art engineering. The programme seeks to launch new research directions, strengthen existing ones and help Europe achieve early leadership in promising future technologies. International funding comes from QuantERA partners with a European Commission contribution; the Research Council of Finland (RCF) administers funding for Finnish partners.
Research falls within Quantum Phenomena and Resources or Applied Quantum Science and addresses quantum communication, computing, simulation, sensing and metrology, or general quantum science. RCF emphasises excellent scientific research with high scientific and societal impact and adherence to responsible science. Finnish funding supports research teams, implementation costs, travel, cooperation and researcher mobility, and preparation of international projects.
