This project will make the European industry quantum ready by tackling the quantum skills bottleneck
CASTELLDEFELS, Spain - Floridant -- We are pleased to announce the commencement of the QTIndu (Quantum Technology Courses for Industry) Project, which will create industry-specific Quantum Technology (QT) training programs to address the growing needs of the quantum-ready workforce. Under the Digital Europe Programme of the European Commission, the European Health and Digital Executive Agency (HaDEA) have granted a total of EUR 5.6 million to the QTIndu project, a pan-European consortium of 11 academic and industry partners coordinated by QURECA SPAIN SL.
The core objectives of the project are
i) the development of the nucleus for a harmonised pan-European end-to-end short-term training program in QT for enterprises,
ii) training courses specifically tailored to the requirements of companies and SMEs from different business sectors, and
iii) the creation and provision of guidelines and routes for a scale up to a comprehensive pan-European scale.
The training programs developed in this initiative will be mapped to the Quantum Technology Competence Framework and aligned with the emerging Qualification Profiles specifications for individuals working in QT developed by the Quantum Flagship. These SME-based training programs are tailored to different business sectors and industry needs covering all the aspects of quantum workforce landscape.
The QTIndu consortium comprises several academic institutions with expertise in the field of quantum technologies (the University of Helsinki - InstituteQ in Finland, the Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands, Aarhus University in Denmark and Technische Universität Braunschweig in Germany), the national metrology institute (Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt in Germany), an SME (and the only company in the world) focussed on education and skills for the quantum workforce (QURECA SPAIN in Spain), two professional networks (Stifterverband in Germany and MinacNed in Netherlands), academic institutions with quantum expertise and a network of SMEs in the sector (ICFO-The Institute of Photonic Sciences in Barcelona, Spain), and the European multinational aerospace corporation (Airbus). Furthermore, two relevant industrial consortia will act as advisors, the Quantum Valley Lower Saxony (https://qvls.de/) in Germany, and QuiC (https://www.euroquic.org/), the European Quantum Industry Consortium. The project will also be run in close synergy with the wider coordination efforts of the ongoing QUCATS (https://qt.eu/about-quantum-flagship/projects/q...) (Quantum Flagship's new Coordination and Support Action) and DigiQ (https://qt.eu/about-quantum-flagship/newsroom/e...) (Digitally Enhanced Quantum Technology Master).
