Continuation of the Quantum Technologies Flagship (CSA)

The main goal of this opportunity is to advance quantum technologies in Europe by building on the Quantum Technologies Flagship Coordination and Support Action. It aims to promote sustainable growth in the field by identifying new applications and markets, and supporting both the European Commission and ongoing Flagship projects. The initiative focuses on acting as a global observatory for quantum technologies, coordinating efforts between the EU and Member States, and sharing data and success stories. Additional key activities include organizing major events such as the European Quantum Technologies Conference and developing communication strategies to raise awareness and understanding of quantum technologies. The geographic focus is Europe, with a strong encouragement for participation from EU Widening Countries and collaboration with select non-EU countries.
