The QuantERA initiative has announced the results of the QuantERA 2025 joint transnational call, one of the most important European funding schemes in the field of quantum technologies. The call, involving 34 funding organizations from 29 countries, attracted a record 287 project proposals submitted by more than 1,400 research teams.
Following an international evaluation process, 39 transnational research projects with a total funding volume of €53 million were selected for funding. Among them are two projects involving Slovene partners.
A total of 28 proposals with Slovene applicants were submitted to the call, including 12 under the Quantum Phenomena and Resources (QPR) topic and 16 under Applied Quantum Science (AQS). Slovene organizations participated as partners in 24 proposals and acted as coordinators in four project consortia.
The successful projects involving Slovene researchers are:
- SDPCode – Semidefinite Foundations for Quantum Codes: Convergence, Bounds and Constructions (QPR topic): The Slovene part of the project is led by Dr. Igor Klep from the University of Primorska, while the overall project is coordinated by the University of Gdańsk, Poland.
- APPSUNCAP – Applications of Superconducting Non-Linear Capacitors (AQS topic): The Slovene part of the project is led by Dr. Mikhail Feigelman from Nanocenter (Centre of Excellence in Nanoscience and Nanotechnology), while the project is coordinated by University College London, United Kingdom.
More information about the call results is available on the websites of QuantERA and the Slovenian Ministry of Higher Education, Science and Innovation MVZI.
