This Coordination and Support Action runs as a single-stage call, paid as a lump sum, with the EuroHPC JU expecting to fund exactly one project of up to EUR 1,000,000 over an expected 36 months. Country eligibility here is narrower than usual: participation is limited to entities in EU Member States, Norway, Iceland and Horizon Europe associated countries, and even an entity established in one of …

This topic funds a single Coordination and Support Action that develops pre-normative standards and technical specifications for quantum computing, communication and sensing, working with bodies such as ISO/IEC, ITU-T, ETSI and CEN-CENELEC. It wants standardised hardware-software interfaces, sensing protocols, control electronics and benchmarking methodologies, plus training material and workshops for SMEs, start-ups and industry.
