Venue: Online
RSVP required.

What are the objectives and key elements of the newly published BMFTR funding call on error-corrected quantum computing, and how can organisations position themselves effectively within a short timeframe?

This QBN members-only webinar is designed to provide a focused and first-hand overview of the BMFTR funding call “Quantum Computing Competition –  Error-Corrected Quantum Computing and Pilot Lines” („Missionsgetriebener Hardware Wettbewerb: Fehlerkorrigiertes Quantencomputing mit Aufbau von Pilotlinien (Quantum Computing Competition)”), one of the most significant funding initiatives in quantum computing recently, with a total budget of around €500 million and a submission deadline on 11th May 2026. It offers a unique opportunity to engage directly with the project management office and gain a clear understanding of the call’s structure and expectations.

Key topics include:

• The objectives and scope of the BMFTR funding call

• Key criteria and considerations for participation

• Opportunities for research and industry partners in error-corrected quantum computing and pilot line development

• Practical insights to prepare for the call

Whether you are actively preparing a proposal or assessing potential involvement, this webinar supports early alignment with the funding framework and informed decision-making within the given timeline.
