As part of its mission, QUTE-EUROPE is committed to providing a framework for interaction and coordination with the scientific branches of the research community. The framework architecture is structured around a set of five Virtual Institutes (VIs):
Each Virtual Institute unites some prominent experts in the corresponding field, providing a contact point for consultation and feeback in the relevant areas.
