Coordinate deployment for the EuroQCI
Funds one consortium to coordinate national and cross-border EuroQCI quantum-communication deployments across the EU and ESA.
This is a single-stage Digital Europe Coordination and Support Action inside the EuroQCI call, expected to fund one consortium at up to three million euros using a Secure Connectivity Programme application-form template rather than the standard Digital Europe one. Deliverables include an assessment of EuroQCI deployments for the network's operational phase, a consolidated overview of what Member S…
This call funds coordination support for the European Quantum Communication Infrastructure (EuroQCI) -- facilitating dialogue between national and cross-border EuroQCI projects, sharing best practices on EU QKD components and certification, and supporting QKD standardisation. It also covers helping build an EU QKD ecosystem and grow the industrialisation of QKD devices, working toward one overall EuroQCI system across both space and terrestrial segments, and running outreach events and communication material that promote the initiative. It assists the Commission, ESA and Member States in reaching a fully functional pan-European EuroQCI system.
