Duration 2021 – 2025

Objective

The FWF is, like the FFG (https://www.ffg.at/quantera), a partner in ERA-NET QuantERA II. The aim of QuantERA II is to support collaborative advanced multidisciplinary science and/or cutting-edge engineering that has the potential to establish or develop new lines of quantum technologies and thus help Europe grasp leadership early on in promising future technology areas.
