This programme supports innovative cross-border projects with contributions from French, German and Dutch quantum companies & research organisations, with a leading role for emerging players, start-ups and innovative SMEs.The development of quantum technologies holds the promise of major breakthroughs in several critical sectors. A large number of open scientific questions and key technologies to be developed will require a global investment effort that no single country can bear alone.

International and European cooperation is an essential lever for addressing these issues and developing resilient quantum value chains. The combined investment of the European Union member states and the European Commission makes Europe the leading investor in quantum technologies. In order to strengthen synergies between the Member States quantum strategies and European programmes, the present call for proposals aims to stimulate cooperation between the French, German, Dutch quantum ecosystems (and all European partners) aiming to join the European effort to develop high value-added knowledge and technological building blocks with strong disruptive potential, and thus reinforcing the European quantum scientific and technological base.
‍
Submissions will be awarded in a two-step process. A full proposal will be evaluated by a trilateral commission. Consortia will then be invited to submit a national application with detailed budgets.

*Other National calls for international collaboration are separated from this process.
