NSERC plays an important role in Canada’s National Quantum Strategy (NQS) by supporting the advancement of research, innovation and talent development in quantum science and technology through various funding opportunities.
We are pleased to announce that the next competition for the Alliance Consortia Quantum grants, in support of the NQS, is now accepting applications for projects that enable a coordinated approach to quantum research and innovation across Canada. The thrust of the proposals submitted in response to the present call must aim to advance one or more of the NQS missions through the development of any of the following areas of quantum technologies, or a combination thereof: quantum algorithms/encryption – including post-quantum cryptography; quantum communications; quantum computing; quantum materials; quantum sensing.
The Alliance Consortia Quantum grants support the development of large-scale domestic research collaborations in quantum science and technology by enhancing synergy across Canada’s regional quantum research and innovation hubs, with the additional aim to connect with industrial applications and government needs. These grants enable collaborations between university researchers and partner organizations from the private, public or not-for-profit sectors.
Please refer to the call for proposals for more information. Applications will be accepted until 8 pm (Eastern Time) on October 16, 2023. If you have any questions, please contact alliance_quantumquantique@nserc-crsng.gc.ca.
