You are invited to attend a workshop jointly organized by ULethbridge’s Office of Research and Innovation Services (ORIS) and University of Calgary’s Quantum City to learn about the Consortia Award – the purpose of which is to fund interdisciplinary projects that aim at creating adoption pathways to capture the benefits of quantum technology.
Researchers working in both quantum and quantum-adjacent fields are encouraged to attend. Examples of relevant disciplines include financial services, human resources, medical imaging, quantum chemistry, quantum algorithms, computer science, encryption (including post-quantum cryptography), communications, materials and sensing.
We welcome anyone interested in exploring the potential to integrate quantum technology into their research!
The workshop will take place on Tuesday, Feb. 4, 2025, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. in room SA 8003.
Please RSVP to the workshop here.
The purposes of this workshop include to:
- Learn more about the Consortia Award and its role in fostering interdisciplinary quantum projects.
- Explore applications of quantum technology in your specific research area or industry sector.
- Provide a networking opportunity for brainstorming and collaboration
- Guide attendees through the process of writing an expression of interest.
Consortia Awards will provide up to 50 per cent of a total project cost, and the project application must include a budget that shows both Quantum City and matching-funds contributions. Projects can last two years and can apply for a maximum of $140K annually.
Please reach out to Leo Brooks at oris.pcc@uleth.ca or Jessica Oddan jessica.oddan@ucalgary.ca if you have any questions.
We look forward to seeing you there!
