Description du projet
Une action de soutien à l’initiative phare de l’UE sur les technologies quantiques
Lancée en 2018, l’initiative phare sur les technologies quantiques est une initiative de recherche et d’innovation ambitieuse qui vise à placer l’Europe à l’avant-garde de la deuxième révolution quantique. Cette initiative phare rassemble des institutions de recherche et des bailleurs de fonds industriels et publics, en élargissant le leadership scientifique et l’excellence européens dans le domaine des technologies quantiques. Le projet QFlag, financé par l’UE, servira de point d’entrée unique, soutenant et coordonnant les activités de l’initiative. L’une des tâches essentielles de QFlag est la mise en place d’une communauté phare (universités et entreprises) pour la préparation et la mise en œuvre d’un véritable agenda de recherche stratégique européen sur les technologies quantiques. QFlag identifiera les cas d’utilisation, analysera et mettra à disposition les infrastructures clés de la technologie quantique. Il mobilisera également les parties prenantes pour faire passer les technologies quantiques du laboratoire au stade commercial.
Objectif
QFlag will provide the key support towards objectives and the governance structure of the EU FET Flagship on Quantum Technologies (QT). By establishing an open, transparent and inclusive community driven initiative, the QT Flagship will be able to unfold its full potential, namely to develop and implement a truly European strategy and position Europe as outstanding region of QT excellence in the world.
To this end QFlag will:
I. Coordinate the relevant Flagship stakeholders and link the Flagship to national programmes
II. Coordinate access to QT infrastructure, foster applications of Quantum Technology and facilitate the transfer of results to industry
III. Increase awareness of QT in Europe, both with (potential) end-users and the general public
IV. Foster education and training in QT, both of students and young researchers and engineers, in the field of QT, as well as a “quantum aware workforce”
V. Support the efficient governance of the Quantum Technology Flagship and monitor its progress
The establishment and close involvement of a growing QT community in Europe is a key aspect of the QFlag project. To this end the project will consult and involve more than 750 QT experts to prepare and update the QT Strategic Research Agenda. QFlag will identify and make available key QT infrastructure, education and training needs and will trigger the establishment of new curricula in the field. Dedicated actions are foreseen to pro-actively create synergies between national, regional and European (funding) activities. Moreover, the project will provide a central PR and dissemination services to all QFlag activities including QT Flagship projects, not only to increase the visibility of the sector towards the general public, but also to trigger the uptake of QT Flagship Project results by industry. All QFlag project actions are closely coordinated with the currently running predecessor project, QSA, so that a flying start of the QFlag is ensured.
