DESCRIPTION:QuantERA II ERA-NET Cofund in Quantum Technologies is a consor
 tium of national and regional Research Funding Organisations (RFOs) in Eur
 ope supporting research in Quantum Technologies (QT). QuantERA II is suppo
 rted by the European Union’s Future and Emerging Technologies programme 
 (FET).\n\nThe QuantERA Call 2021 was launched on 12 March 2021. 35 funding
  agencies from 28 countries participate with a total budget of approximate
 ly 40 million €. For Switzerland\, the Swiss National Science Foundation
  (SNSF) is the Funding Agency.\n\nThe submitted proposals are expected to 
 be aligned with one of the two QuantERA cofunded call 2021 topics:\n\n	Qua
 ntum Phenomena and Resources (QPR)\, where the goal is to lay the foundati
 ons for the QT of the future\n	Applied Quantum Science (AQS)\, where the g
 oal is to take known quantum effects and established concepts from quantum
  science\, translate them into technological applications and develop new 
 products.\n\n\nFunded projects in both topics are expected to address one 
 or more of the following areas:\n\n	Quantum communication\n	Quantum simula
 tion\n	Quantum computation\n	Quantum information sciences\n	Quantum metrol
 ogy sensing and imaging\n\n\nWho can apply: \n\n\n	International consortia
  must have a minimum of 3 eligible partners requesting funding in at least
  3 different participating countries. Consortia are encouraged to include

 d co-applicants: \n\n\n	In case of several overlapping SNSF projects\, all
  projects must be thematically different.\n	Swiss applicants may participa
 te in at most one QuantERA proposal.\n	Researchers based in Switzerland wh
 o are beneficiaries of a project funded through the Quantum Flagship are n
 ot eligible for this QuantERA call.\n	The SNSF exclusively funds research 
 conducted for purposes that are not directly commercial.\n\n\nFunding:\n\n
 \n	The SNSF has allocated CHF 1M for 3-5 projects for this call. For EPFL 
 applicants: use the Budget Calculator available in the EPFL Toolkit for SN
 SF Project Funding.\n	At most 60% of the total requested funding may be re
 quested by partners from one country.\n\n\nProject duration: \n\n\n	24 or 
 36 months\n\n\nTimeline of the call:\n\n\n	Deadline for pre-proposal submi

 July 2021\n	Deadline for full proposal submission: 15 September 2021 at 17
 :00 CET\n	Notification of accepted proposals : December 2021\n	Start date
  for funded projects : Early 2022\n\n\nSubmission procedures:\n\n\n	Swiss
 -based applicants must submit proposals via mySNF for the same deadlines a
 s the consortium applications.\n	Partners of an international project cons
 ortium located in a country of the QuantERA transnational consortium shoul
 d be declared as consortium partner and apply for their funding at their r
 espective research funding organisation.\n	Prior contact with SNSF is high
 ly recommended if PI has never been supported by reference funding scheme.
 \n\n\n\nAn online webinar will be hosted by the QuantERA Coordinator and t
 he Call Secretariat\, aiming to answer the questions related to the call. 
 This will take place on April 13th 2021\, 13:00- 15:00 CET. Register to th
