European Quantum Readiness Center (EQRC)

The European Quantum Readiness Center (EQRC) is a European initiative committed to empowering Europe with Quantum Readiness. To this end, our goal is to create a quantum-aware society and to develop the workforce of tomorrow. To address Europe’s need for a strong quantum ecosystem, the EQRC is built on 3 units. I) Analysis, wherein we are preparing for the impact of Quantum Technology on society by analysing the possible futures which will arise resulting from it. II) Resources, where community-developed and didactically validated modules for outreach, education, and training are available for all who wish to develop their quantum readiness, and III) Accord: Commitment to best practices addressing six principles, each serving as a fundamental component of our efforts to drive change and enhance readiness in the European Quantum landscape, including both quantum and non-quantum organisations. Adoption of the principles will bring about a wide range of benefits to the European Quantum landscape, including addressing the leaky pipeline, enabling wider outreach and inspiration, facilitating standardisation and transparency, and providing greater accessibility. The EQRC is an initiative of the Quantum Flagship, Europe’s largest quantum program. By submitting an accord, you are spearheading the quantum future.
