Fifteen research teams from Poland were among the winners of the QuantERA Co-funded Call 2021 for international research projects in the field of quantum technologies.
Ten basic research projects will be funded by the National Science Centre (NCN) and five applied research projects will be funded by the National Centre for Research and Development (NCBR). The NCN has awarded funding for that purpose of over PLN 7.7 million.
The third QuantERA Call was launched in March 2021 by 36 European Research Funding Organisations and has attracted a lot of attention from scientists at large from its very beginning. 39 international research projects were recommended for funding. The total project value is EUR 43.5 million, of which EUR 12.3 million is co-financed by the European Union.
