WACQT and WISE joint project call 2025 - 2026
WACQT–WISE Collaboration Projects 2026 is now open. This call aims to support joint research projects between researchers within WACQT and WISE in the areas of quantum technology for materials science or materials science for quantum technology, with a required focus on sustainability.
Proof of Concept Grants in AI or Quantum technologies
The purpose of the Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation Proof of Concept Grant is to bridge the gap between academic research and innovations in Autonomous Systems and AI, Quantum Technologies or Information and Communications Technology (ICT). The grant gives researchers the opportunity to develop their early-stage discoveries towards validated methods, products, or processes and provides the opportunity to carry out activities that validate and accelerate the development of the project and prepare for innovation and commercialization.
