What this call funds
This call funds the creation of a pan-European network of open-access facilities where quantum technologies (like processors, sensors, and photonics) can be tested, validated and certified. It aims to give SMEs, start-ups, and researchers access to standardized testing services so quantum products can move faster and more reliably to market. The project will also build a digital platform for planning tests, running them remotely, and reporting results.
