Sectoral digital skills academies: Quantum Skills Digital Academy
Funds a single European academy that trains non-physicists to use quantum computers and technologies through hands-on courses and summer schools.
This is a single-stage Digital Europe Programme Lump Sum Grant, so applicants submit one full proposal by the deadline rather than a short-listing round first. The funded academy must set up a dedicated landing page on the Digital Skills and Jobs Platform to publicise its activities, and must report on its impact using a KPI assessment scheme, with recommendations for future policy and investment.…
The call funds one central Quantum Digital Skills Academy offering interdisciplinary training in quantum technologies for professionals without a physics or engineering background. It runs tutorials and hands-on sessions on real quantum computers, summer schools, and support for education tied to quantum computing, simulation, communication and sensing research projects. The academy is meant to accelerate knowledge transfer from quantum research into industry.
