This event – the second of three in FFG’s series of quantum activities – provides an initial overview of funding mechanisms (Framework Programme 10, European Competitiveness Fund) from 2028 onwards and brings together the Austrian quantum community with European stakeholders (e.g. the European Commission, EuroHPC), enhancing information exchange for the redesigned Horizon Europe quantum calls. In the afternoon, participants will also explore Austrian success stories in the quantum sector.
Through its one-stop-shop approach, FFG supports quantum projects with a broad portfolio of services and offers rich networking opportunities.
