Pre-Announcement of ERA-NET Cofund in Quantum Technologies (QuantERA II) Call 2023

Digital & Technology

03 January 2023/Categories: Grants_and_Funding

The call is scheduled to open at the end of January 2023 will focus on applied quantum science and quantum phenomena and resources.

QuantERA II is a European Research Area network focused on quantum technologies (QT). It supports multilateral research projects with the potential to initiate or foster new lines of QT through collaborations exploring advanced multidisciplinary science and/or cutting-edge engineering.

QuantERA II has issued a pre-announcement of a new call in Quantum Sciences and Technologies scheduled to launch at the end of January 2023. The Call will comprise the following two topics:

  • Quantum Phenomena and Resources
  • Applied Quantum Science

Projects are expected to address one or more of the following research areas:

  • Quantum communication
  • Quantum simulation
  • Quantum computation
  • Quantum information sciences
  • Quantum metrology sensing and imaging

Funded projects are expected to significantly advance the state-of-the-art of quantum sciences and technologies by achieving one or more of the following targets:

  • Develop a deeper fundamental and practical understanding of systems and protocols/algorithms for manipulating and exploiting quantum information.
  • Enhance the robustness and scalability of quantum information technologies in the presence of environmental decoherence, hence facilitating their real-world deployment.
  • Develop reliable technologies for the different components of quantum architectures.
  • Identify new opportunities and applications fostered through quantum technologies, and the possible ways to transfer these technologies from laboratories to industries.
  • Enhance interdisciplinarity in crossing traditional boundaries between disciplines in order to enlarge the community involved in tackling these new challenges.
  • Move towards a gender diverse and inclusive quantum community, in particular targeting PhD students and early-career researchers.
  • Spread excellence throughout Europe by involving partners from the widening countries.
  • Build leading innovation capacity across Europe by involvement of key actors that can make a difference in the future, for example excellent young researchers, ambitious high-tech SMEs or first-time participants.

The project consortia must have a minimum of three eligible partners requesting funding in at least three of the following countries: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Czechia, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Israel, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom.

Prospective applicants are invited to use QuantERA II's Partner Search Tool to facilitate the process of forming research consortia. This tool can be used by projects looking for partners, and partners looking for projects.

Projects are expected to start in January 2024 and should last for 24-36 months.

The deadline for the QuantERA Call 2023 will be 11 May 2023 (17:00 CET).

 

How To Apply

Joint proposals are prepared by the coordinator and submitted via the electronic submission system on the QuantERA website.

Submissions to the QuantERA Call 2023 are scheduled to open at the end of January 2023 and close on 11 May 2023.
