Quantum for Good: Setting the Stage for the International Year of Quantum

The United Nations International Computing Centre (UNICC), in partnership with the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) and Quantum Delta NL, warmly invite you to join Quantum for Good: Setting the Stage for the International Year of Quantum — a two-day event that will take place on 20-21 November 2024.

The event will bring together experts from the UN system, governments, academia, civil society, and the private sector to launch dialogues in advance of the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology (IYQ) in 2025.

Objectives

• Creating awareness: Raising global awareness about the transformative potential of quantum technology for addressing global challenges. 
• Building partnerships: Fostering new partnerships between governments, private sector players, academia, and civil society to push forward quantum technology initiatives for public benefit. 
• Generating actionable solutions: Encouraging the development of practical, scalable, quantum-based solutions for problems in areas like sustainability, healthcare, and financial security. 
• Influencing policy: Educating policymakers to develop supportive frameworks and initiatives that ensure quantum technologies are available inclusively. 

Together, we will set a collaborative research agenda for participants to undertake throughout 2025 and beyond!
