QUTE-EUROPE submitted a position document titled "Quantum Technologies in H2020" to the recently launched FET public consultation.
As many of you probably know, the EC has launched an online consultation to identify game-changing directions for future research in FET related technological domains. The purpose of this consultation is to initiate thinking about future proactive initiatives to be included in the next FET workprogramme for 2016 and 2017.
The Joint Research Centre of the European Commission (JRC) opened application to two calls for interest for the role of grant holders at the Institute for the Protection and Security of the Citizen (Ispra, Italy).
These positions are intended for any senior scientist with a proven reputation in a field of science relevant to the JRC's scientific activities and who has a minimum of 10 years of research experience at post-doctoral level or a minimum of 15 years of research experience after the first university degree giving access to doctoral studies.

A popular-science documentary Taming the Quantum World concerning QIPC research activities in Europe has been produced by Masto Media ApS (youtube channel) at the beginning of 2014. The production of this documentary was initiated by QIPC Coordination Action QUROPE (predecessor of the current Coordination Action QUTE-EUROPE) several yers ago. A trailer and a video-on-demand format of the whole movie featuring N. Gisin, A. Zeilinger, R. Blatt and others is available here. |
Quantum made it to European Commission Vice-President Neelie KROES speech at Davos World Economic forum!

Quantum envoy is any activity connecting interested third-party audiences with the quantum information research community. Typical examples of quantum envoy are public lectures and exhibitions presenting general aspects of QIPC research and goals.
The EC is organizing the Information day for the first Call in Quantum simulation FET-Proactive initiative for the new Framework program, to be held on the 20th January 2014 in Brussels.
The European Commission is organizing an Information day for the first Call in Quantum simulation FET-Proactive initiative for the new Framework program.
The event will take place in Brussels in the DIAMANT Conference centre (location still to be confirmed) (http://www.diamant.be/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=46&Itemid=53&lang=en) on January 20, 2014.
The European Commission has presented calls for projects under Horizon 2020 on Dec 10, 2013. A FET-Proactive (Research and Innovation Action) call with the topic "Quantum simulation" is open.
On Dec 10, 2013, the European Commission has for the first time presented calls for projects under Horizon 2020. Worth more than €15 billion over the first two years, the funding is intended to help boost Europe's knowledge-driven economy, and tackle issues that will make a difference in people's lives. More information is available at http://ec.europa.eu/programmes/horizon2020/ .
Anyone can try quantum computing experiments on Bristol’s public access two-quibit chip.
Bristol University’s centre for quantum photonics has hooked up its quantum chip to the web. Anyone interested in quantum physics or computing can follow a link to Bristol’s Qcloud and try an experiment on a quantum simulator, before running it on a real quantum computer.
