For Switzerland, the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF) is the Funding Agency.The SNSF has allocated CHF 1M for 3-5 projects for this call.
The submitted proposals are expected to be aligned with one of the two QuantERA cofunded call 2021 topics:
- Quantum Phenomena and Resources (QPR), where the goal is to lay the foundations for the QT of the future
- Applied Quantum Science (AQS), where the goal is to take known quantum effects and established concepts from quantum science, translate them into technological applications and develop new products.
Proposals must be submitted by international consortia composed of at least 3 eligible partners requesting funding in at least 3 different participating countries. All Swiss applicants must be eligible for SNSF Project Funding in division II (see EPFL Instructions for SNSF Project Funding)..
