What is the Supporting Digital Partnerships in Quantum technologies (RIA) Call?
Expected Outcomes
• Strengthen the European quantum ecosystem, enabling stakeholders to advance quantum technology applications in academic, industrial and societal contexts across the EU and ROK.
• Improve the exchange of information and expertise between EU and ROK to address societal challenges through quantum technologies.
• Share best practices for deploying and integrating quantum technologies with other digital and emerging enabling technologies.
• Facilitate researcher and engineer exchanges, granting mutual access to quantum infrastructures in the EU and ROK.
• Enhance international cooperation between EU and ROK quantum communities and deliver a roadmap for future targeted collaboration.
Scope Requirements
• Integration across disciplines (physics, engineering, computer science, cybersecurity, theory, algorithms, software, manufacturing, control, infrastructure) is required.
• Projects should co-design hardware and software to accelerate applications and interoperability; develop secure communication protocols; and engineer quantum sensors for specific use-cases.
• Consortia must include balanced participation of EU Member States/Associated Countries and ROK entities, and are encouraged to involve EU Widening Countries to spread excellence.
• Proposals must clearly define how EU–ROK collaboration will raise technology readiness levels (TRLs) through comprehensive engineering and stakeholder engagement (public and/or private).
• Applicants are recommended to link to relevant standardization bodies, with beneficiaries participating in standards technical committees at national, European or international level.
• While not mandatory, proposals may integrate sex- and gender-based analysis into research and innovation content where relevant.
Special Conditions
• Proposals must comply with Horizon Europe General Annexes (admissibility, eligibility, financial and operational capacity, exclusion criteria), application page limits and layout, evaluation criteria and procedural rules.
• Eligible participants include EU Member States/Associated Countries and ROK organisations; non-associated third countries may participate subject to bilateral funding provisions.
• Applicants must select the relevant Destination 4 (“Achieving open strategic autonomy in digital and emerging enabling technologies”) description and expected impacts from the Work Programme when preparing proposals.
• Inclusion of partners with direct experience in standards committees is strongly encouraged.
• Gender-dimension integration is optional but recommended if scientifically relevant.
• Projects must respect security restrictions for European communication networks where applicable.
