🔹 Collaboration with testbeds: Teams must work with a recognised quantum testbed provider in either country
🔹 Project focus areas include:
• Quantum networking (hardware/software, entanglement)
• Quantum computing applications and services
• Quantum sensing for commercial use (e.g. health, infrastructure, navigation)

🗓 Deadline to apply: 28 October 2025
📆 Project start date: Expected from February 2026
💡 Project duration: 18–24 months

This is a great opportunity for forward-thinking quantum innovators looking to collaborate across borders and access specialised testbed environments.
