Swiss Quantum Commission, call for pre-proposals

The Swiss Quantum Commission (SQC) is coordinating a TRL-enhancing initiative: in this frame, a new call for pre-proposals is being launched under the Swiss Quantum Initiative (SQI).
 
The call is organzied in 2 stages: 
The pre-proposal stage aims at initiating the formation of strong consortia that bring together leading experts from academia, research institutions, and industry across Switzerland. Pre-proposals should demonstrate the potential to advance technologies towards mid to high Technology Readiness Levels (TRLs) and contribute to emerging industry applications and impacts.

> SQI is organising an information webinar on May 14, 2025, to present the idea and goals of the call, and answer your questions. Please register here.
 
Pre-proposals addressing the following points are particularly welcome:
- Strengthen or expand quantum-specific shared infrastructures and platforms;
- Build capabilities and further strengthen engineering efforts in quantum technologies;
- Enhance national collaboration and foster expert and user networks.
