QuantERA Call 2025

Call 2025 Announcement (4 September 2025)

The QuantERA III Consortium announces a new Call for international research projects in Quantum Technologies – QuantERA Call 2025.

Through this Call, the QuantERA Consortium seeks to boost cross-border collaboration and accelerate breakthrough research and cutting-edge engineering in quantum technologies, with funding from QuantERA partners and contribution from the European Commission.

Funding: ca. €53M

Deadline for proposals submission: 5 December 2025, 17.00 CET

Application and evaluation procedure

The Call follows a one-stage submission and evaluation procedure.

The Project Coordinator (PC) prepares a joint proposal for the whole project consortium, using the templates available on the QuantERA website. The two forms (proposal form and financial form) composing the proposal are submitted via the Electronic Submission System (ESS).

Researchers are invited to apply for funding in one of two topics:

  • Quantum Phenomena and Resources (QPR) – with the goal of laying the foundations for the QT of the future;
  • Applied Quantum Science (AQS) – aimed at leveraging established quantum effects and concepts from quantum science, translating them into technological applications and developing new products.

All projects aligned with one of the two Call 2025 topics are expected to address one or more of the following areas:

  • Quantum communication
  • Quantum computing
  • Quantum simulation
  • Quantum sensing and metrology
  • General quantum science

Countries participating in the Call:
Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czechia, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Türkiye, United Kingdom.

Project duration
Projects may be performed over 24 or 36 months.

Partner Search Tool
In order to facilitate the process of forming research consortia, we offer applicants a Partner Search Tool available HERE. This tool can be used by projects looking for partners and partners looking for projects.

Webinar
An online webinar will be hosted by the QuantERA Coordinator and the Call Secretariat, aiming to answer the questions related to the call. This will take place on 8 October 2025. Please note that the webinar will be recorded. Registration to the event is required – the registration form is available here.
