Prof. Dr. Ignacio Cirac, director at the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics, will come to EPFL to give a Distinguished Lecture on the quantum theory of information.

This call aims to strengthen quantum education at EPFL by supporting the purchase of specific equipment to further develop teaching activities (incl. master thesis and semester projects) and practical lab sessions (TPs) aligned with the quantum curriculum. The indicative maximum grant per proposal is 25 kCHF.
Deadline 13 August 2025

These awards aim to attract and empower excellent female students who will conduct their master’s project at EPFL in the research areas represented at the QSE Center. The awardee will receive 8,000 CHF paid to them directly. External applicants are eligible for up to an additional 2,000 CHF for travel expenses. Rolling deadline - Next review starts July 31

The QSE Innovation Seed Grant is a unique seed funding opportunity to encourage the brightest ideas for cutting-edge applications, technology transfer, and start-up creation in the field of quantum science and engineering, open to master’s students and researchers, including PhD students and post docs, in the initial phase of developing a cutting-edge application, product or service with a real societal impact. Rolling deadline

The BRIDGE Quantum Call 2025 aims at supporting (early) innovation in the fields of quantum technologies. It targets experienced researchers in Switzerland who, together with partners, have the primary goal of transforming scientific achievements into implementable practical applications. A total maximum budget of 20 million francs is available to fund projects and is provided in equal parts by the SNSF and Innosuisse. Please reach out to qse@epfl.ch if you have questions or would like support with your proposal. 
Deadline 16 September 2025

The call on Quantum Skills Digital Academy is about offering training opportunities at different levels that bridge the gap between traditional disciplines and quantum technologies. Please reach out to qse@epfl.ch if you have questions or would like support with your proposal.
Deadline 2 September 2025

The Work Programme 2025 (published on 14 May 2025) shows several calls on digital and emerging enabling technologies in the quantum domain. Please reach out to qse@epfl.ch if you have questions or would like support with your proposal. 
Deadline 2 October 2025

On 2 July 2025, the European Commission put forward the Quantum Strategy to make Europe a global leader in quantum by 2030. The Strategy will foster a resilient, sovereign quantum ecosystem that fuels startup growth and transforms breakthrough science into market-ready applications, while maintaining Europe's scientific leadership

As part of the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology proclaimed by UNESCO, this exhibition immerses you in the fascinating universe of quantum through a series of educational panels on key concepts located inside the museum, as well as cutting-edge research conducted at the University of Geneva, presented in poster format along the Geneva lake. On view until 20 August 2025.

In June 2025, the Cyber Alp Retreat was organized in Davos by the Swiss Cyber Defence Campus. The event offered many tracks focusing on cyber data technologies, aerospace and transport security, generative AI, and technology monitoring. Researchers and industry experts shared their latest insights from the disruptive impact of quantum computing to the strategic use of AI in foresight, roadmapping, and national security policy. An extended study on this topic will also be published in a Springer book.
