QuantERA

QuantERA is a leading European network of Research Funding Organisations (RFOs), which supports and subsidises the development of Quantum Technologies (QT). Having put science and technology at its very heart, the QuantERA Consortium invests in excellent Research and Innovation – and the people who make it happen.

We are pleased to announce the QuantERA 2025 Call results: 7 projects with Dutch participation will start this year.

QDNL will be funding 7 projects in the QuantERA 2025 call. The overall funding from the QDNL Research and Innovation budget exceeds €2.000.000.

Out of more than 270 overall submissions across QuantERA countries, 39 projects were selected for funding through the QuantERA selection committee. Four projects were submitted in the fundamental track, tackling multiple topics involving optical clocks, Bosonic algorithms, and spin defects and transitions.

CWI will be coordinating one consortium, and UvA and TU Delft (2 projects) will be beneficiaries on the Dutch side. In the track of Applied Quantum research, the Netherlands are represented by TU Eindhoven, TU Delft and the Saxion School of Applied Science in 3 projects. This is remarkable involvement in the European and broader community, with formalised collaborations with countries such as Germany, France, and several projects, as well as with the UK, Romania, the Czech Republic, Spain, and Italy. 

The projects are supposed to start in 2026, with a kickoff at the QuantERA conference in Basel in September.

Stay tuned for the impact we can accelerate by funding these excellent ideas in Quantum Research across all domains over the next three years.
