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.
