19 Dutch quantum research projects receive €10.4M in grants from Quantum Delta NL and NWO
Summary
Delft-based Quantum Delta NL, the Netherlands’ national ecosystem for excellence in quantum innovation, in collaboration with NWO, announced on December that 19 Honorees have been awarded €10.4M in grants as part of the second call of the National programme’s Actionline 1 ‘Research & Innovation.’ Of the nineteen projects awarded, two are from such young researchers. “We recognise these numbers can still room for improvement, and we are committed to putting resources into further achieving a better gender balance,” says the company. As a result, Quantum Delta NL has reserved €42M for the Action Line’ research and innovation’ for over seven years. This measure strengthened the basis for the Netherlands’ leading position in quantum research. The fact that four female scientists have received a grant is very nice and, at the same time, an encouragement for us and the ecosystem to become even more attractive, more proportionate, and more diverse,” says Pieter De Witte, Director of Research Programmes & IP at Quantum Delta NL.
