Let’s introduce the
Centre for Quantum and Society

The Centre for Quantum and Society is a knowledge and co-creation centre to maximise quantum technologies’ positive impact on society. We’re part of the action line Quantum and Society, a unique program that puts societal impact first. We facilitate ground-breaking academic research into ethics, legal frameworks, and effective communication about quantum technologies. We develop tools to assess quantum applications’ ethical, legal, and societal aspects and set governance guidelines. We support startups, small businesses, and corporate innovation teams in understanding the impact of their quantum innovations on their sector, customers, and society. Last but not least, we initiate mission-driven innovation projects.

We are looking for a diverse group of stakeholders to jointly realise a positive societal impact with quantum technologies. Get in touch to explore opportunities to collaborate!

Big Meetup: How will Quantum impact Business and Society?
On our launch and its aftermath

During the Big Meetup: How will quantum impact business and society, CQS took the stage. It was our official launching event. We invited five experienced women in the field of quantum and technology development in general, to talk to an audience of more than 100 participants about core questions on ELSA aspects of quantum. Our speakers were as follows:

  • Jaya Baloo: Chief Information Security Officer Avast & Vice Chair of the EU Quantum Flagship Strategic Advisory Board
  • Daria Robinson: Executive Director Diplomacy Forum at Geneva Science & Diplomacy Anticipator (GESDA)
  • Freeke Heijman: Quantum Delta Netherlands, co-founder & director of ecosystem development
  • Eline de Jong: Working group member Quantum Impact Assessment and former member of the Project Group AI at the Scientific Council for Government Policy (WRR)
  • Deborah Nas: Initiative Lead Centre for Quantum & Society and Professor at TU Delft

By using a mixed format of interviews and presentations, our speakers were able to exchange with the audience and create a truly interactive space. Throughout the session, these five professionals answered the questions from their expertise and as a reflection of their responsibilities and roles. To set the pace of a hybrid event like this and make participation and engagement the keys for knowledge co-creation, there was an open chat as well for our online participants, moderated by our colleague Julia Cramer.

Concerns on the application of quantum technology arose from the audience that considered ethical, legal and societal implications as core topics to discuss already at this stage of quantum development. Some of the international voices in the debate addressed issues like inclusivity, gender diversity, relevance of the topic to early education programs and strategic development with emphasis in the differences between countries regarding this technology, even within Europe.

We were very satisfied to hear that our colleagues from the quantum ecosystem, gave a positive feedback in the aftermath of the event, not only for its own setup, in-depth discussions and organization, but also for the relevance of addressing societal impact of quantum from the Centre for Quantum and Society.

Are you willing to contribute to our challenge of realizing positive societal impact with quantum technologies? Please contact us, and we will take you onboard.
