Quantum Call: DeiC once again allocates funding for educational activities in quantum computing
From 1 April 2026, Danish organisations are once again invited to submit proposals for the development of educational activities in quantum computing. The application deadline is 1 June 2026.
The National Competence Board for Quantum Computing operates as a collaborative initiative under the auspices of DeiC and constitutes a direct implementation of the Danish Government’s strategy for quantum technology.
In this funding round, DeiC’s National Competence Board for Quantum Computing has allocated DKK 8.7 million to new educational initiatives focused on the use of quantum computing in Denmark.
DeiC is contributing to strengthening the quantum talent pool in Denmark—and there is a clear need to do so. There is a growing demand to broaden the general understanding of quantum computing and its applications, in order to support both research and innovation, as well as to enable Danish industry and the public sector to harness the benefits of this emerging technology.
“We encourage educational institutions, private stakeholders, and industry alike to apply, so that we can secure a strong Danish position within the field of quantum technologies,” says Henrik Navntoft Sønderskov, Head of Quantum Computing at DeiC.
In this call, increased emphasis is placed on applicants’ reflection on the pedagogical methods and principles underpinning their educational activities, ensuring that these effectively promote and support learning. Furthermore, applications are required to demonstrate how their proposed teaching aligns with the EU’s ESG framework, making it clear where the most significant contributions are expected.
