The QuantERA III Consortium has opened the QuantERA Call 2025, a new call for international research projects in Quantum Technologies. Through this Call, the QuantERA Consortium seeks to boost cross-border collaboration and accelerate breakthrough research and cutting-edge engineering in quantum technologies.
The submitted proposals are expected to be aligned with one of the two QuantERA Call 2025 topics:
- Quantum Phenomena and Resources (QPR)
- Applied Quantum Science (AQS)
Funded projects in both topics are expected to address one or more of the following areas:
• Quantum communication,
• Quantum simulation,
• Quantum computation,
• Quantum sensing and metrology,
• General quantum science.
The project consortia must be composed of at least 3 partners eligible to receive funding from three or more different countries participating in the Call. Detailed information on the call topics, call rules, project requirements, and other expected qualifications of the projects can be found on the international call page.
In the QuantERA Project Call for 2025, Turkish researchers will be supported within the scope of the TÜBİTAK 1071 - Support Programme for Increasing Capacity to Benefit From International Research Funds and Participation in International R&D Cooperation.
It is strongly recommended to carefully review the national application rules listed below prior to submission. If the application rules are not followed, the application will be returned without being evaluated.
In order to facilitate the process of forming research consortia, Partner Search Tool is available for the applicants. This tool can be used by projects looking for partners and partners looking for projects.
An online webinar will be held on 8 October 2025 by the QuantERA Coordinator and the Call Secretariat, aiming to answer the questions related to the Call. Registration details for the webinar will be made available soon on the QuantERA international call page.
