QEX — Quantum Excellence Centre

Connecting Europe for Quantum Excellence

Just a few years ago, practical quantum computing solutions still felt out of reach. Today, you hear about quantum everywhere, and countries around the world are building their own hubs. That makes it more important than ever for Europe to act together. QEX (Quantum Excellence Centre) connects researchers, developers, policymakers, and industry partners to co-develop applications, share knowledge, and grow quantum expertise across the continent.

How we work

QEX brings together Europe’s quantum ecosystem through four key dimensions, each reinforcing the others:

  • Engagement & Collaboration

  • Open Science & Results

  • Training & Skills

  • Events & Community

Engagement & Collaboration

We engage our community by running working groups to share results and gather input, co-developing applications and tools with end-users, and supporting collaboration across Europe’s national quantum ecosystems.

Open Science & Results

QEX produces software, datasets, and research outputs, sharing them as openly as possible while respecting IP and licensing rules. Through the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC), we make tools and knowledge available to the wider quantum community, fostering transparency and collaboration.

Training & Skills

Developing a skilled user base is at the heart of QEX. Our training programme supports learners from beginners to advanced developers, offers workshops, online resources, and tailored activities led by experts, and shares materials openly to enable long-term skill development across Europe.

Events & Community

QEX organizes and participates in a variety of events to promote quantum computing and strengthen Europe’s developer and user community. Our event calendar includes:

  • Public events – open to anyone interested in quantum advancements.

  • Invite-only events – targeted discussions with selected participants.

  • Partner events – organized by consortium members.

  • Community events – for EuroHPC and QEC members.
