EuroHPC Opens €119M in Funding Calls for Quantum Technologies

The EuroHPC Joint Undertaking has launched six calls totaling €119 million to advance quantum computing, quantum communications, testing infrastructure and experimental production capabilities in Europe. The calls will fund projects covering trapped-ion, superconducting and neutral-atom quantum platforms, next-generation QKD systems, quantum testing infrastructure and experimental pilot lines. All six calls opened on August 13, 2026, with applications due by November 17, 2026, and project durations generally set at 3.5 years. Press release – The EuroHPC Joint Undertaking (EuroHPC JU) has launched six new calls to advance strategic quantum technologies and the infrastructure needed to accelerate the development and deployment of next-generation quantum systems in Europe. This call, HORIZON-JU-EUROHPC-2026-TIPT-09, aims to advance Europe’s leadership in trapped-ion quantum computing by developing a full-stack quantum computer with over 1,000 individually addressable physical qubits, fully integrated with classical high-performance computing systems and accessible…
