The French Embassies in the Netherlands, Belgium and Switzerland, along with the French Institutes NL and Luxembourg, are organizing a webinar dedicated to cooperation opportunities between higher education and research institutes in the field of quantum engineering on June 4th 2024, from 10:00 AM to 12:00 pm.
Quantum technology stands as one of the pivotal strategic domains of the 21st century, and France has proactively concentrated its efforts on enhancing research infrastructures, cultivating ecosystems, fostering start-ups, and engaging with partners across Europe. Amidst these endeavors, the imperative of talent development and circulation of talents in Europe is crucial. Universities and R&D institutions should ignite passion among students, offer top-tier academic programs, and prepare future engineers adept in quantum technologies.
In light of these imperatives, fostering collaboration among universities, research institutes, start-ups, end-users, and governments at the European level emerges as a cornerstone. Such cooperation not only nurtures the engineers of tomorrow but also enhances the sector’s allure in Europe and contributes to the realization of European technological sovereignty. With the QuantEduFrance programme, France is stepping up its ambitions to present in a coherent way the higher education institutions offering programmes in the field. As for the Embassies and the Institut français, they are offering several scholarship programmes promoting the mobility of students and young researchers.
This webinar (in English) aims to provide an overview of the ambitions, developments and opportunities between our countries and offers a platform for higher education institutions wishing to develop partnerships with other higher education institutions and mobility between European countries. This meeting will also be an opportunity to present to representatives of institutions the sources of funding to realize their cooperation projects.
