Supporting Digital Partnerships in Quantum technologies (RIA)
Funds up to three joint EU-South Korea projects, worth EUR 2.5–2.7 million each, on quantum communication, computing or sensing.
This topic runs as a single-stage Research and Innovation Action, open from 10 June 2025 to 2 October 2025, and implements the EU-Republic of Korea Digital Partnership in quantum technologies. The topic's EUR 8,000,000 is expected to produce three grants of between EUR 2,500,000 and EUR 2,700,000 each. Activities are expected to start at TRL 2-3 and reach TRL 3-5 by the end of the project.

The Commission wants proposals that implement the EU-Republic of Korea Digital Partnership in quantum technologies, addressing quantum communication (secure protocols, quantum key distribution), computing/simulation (hardware-software co-design), or application-specific quantum sensors, with clear mutual benefit for both sides. It expects balanced involvement of EU and Korean entities and a clearly stated rationale for the collaboration.
