Quantum Future Academy 2025
The Quantum Future Academy is back – this year as a binational event with the Netherlands! 15 students from the Netherlands and 15 students from Germany gain unique insights into the world of applied quantum technologies, explore career paths, and discover the field’s latest innovations. The academy takes place from August 23 to 30 in Amsterdam, Delft, Jülich, and Aachen.
During the academy, participants receive an exclusive overview of the current state of research and development in quantum technologies. Translating fundamental quantum physics principles into real-world applications increasingly requires significant efforts, particularly in engineering and computer science. Turning these emerging technologies into viable solutions also demands the creation of business models and market opportunities. Both young start-ups and well-established companies are heavily investing in quantum technologies.
Throughout the academy, participants gain exclusive insights into this cutting-edge field and have the opportunity to broaden your perspective on both science and entrepreneurship. The one-week program includes:
- Excursions to leading companies and research institutes
- Talks from experts in the field of quantum technologies
- Exclusive insights into the latest research and developments
- Networking opportunities with entrepreneurs, start-ups, and industry leaders
- Interactive workshops
- Cultural evening events
The program takes participants to exciting labs, institutes, and companies. They spend the first half of the week in the Netherlands (Amsterdam and Delft) and the second half in Germany (Aachen and Jülich).
Who ist hosting the event?
The academy is hosted by the German Federal Ministry of Research, Technology and Space (BMFTR), Quantum Delta NL, Quantum Talent and Learning Centre Amsterdam, Forschungszentrum Jülich, and the Fraunhofer Institute for Laser Technology. Take advantage of this influential international quantum network and connect with renowned players in the field.
Who is participating?
Bachelor and Master students from all STEM disciplines who are enrolled at a German or Dutch university at the time of application have been eligible to apply. Basic knowledge of quantum physics was required. The application period has ended.
