At the Quantum Frontier: Delegation trip to Harwell & National Physical Laboratory
National Physical Laboratory
Commercialising Quantum Conference
As described in the detailed programme below, there will be a rare opportunity to participate in all or parts of the days.
Activities include
- An evening-reception hosted at the Danish Embassy in London, with peers from both Denmark and United Kingdom.
- A delegation event at National Physical Laboratory in Hampton, including a triple helix panel-debate with key-note speakers from the UK and Danish ecosystem: “The entanglement between quantum science, quantum industry and quantum policy”
- A limited seats visit to the impressive Harwell Campus just outside Oxford.
In connection with Europe’s largest quantum event, Commercialising Quantum, DeiC Quantum Algorithm Academy (DQAA), in collaboration with the Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs, is organising a special delegation trip to London.
Commercialising Quantum offers a unique opportunity to gain brand new insight into cutting edge research and the application of quantum technology across both industry and defence, as well as strategic policy perspectives and future crucial collaboration opportunities.
For these reasons, a programme is being planned in connection with the event with a focus on research collaboration with industry - combined with unique insights into the opportunities enabled by dedicated research. As described in the detailed programme, there will be a rare opportunity to participate in all or parts of the days.
The campus is among other things home to the UK’s National Quantum Computing Centre (NQCC), which has received a historically large 10-year funding commitment of GBP 670 million from the British government.
Expected outcomes
Participation provides a unique platform and opportunity for the research community, industry, and policymakers to meet and:
- Build new networks and share knowledge on quantum technology and its application in research and industry.
- Gain insight into current and upcoming policy priorities, and future states of Quantum Computing infrastructure.
- Develop awareness of opportunities for quantum advisory services, grants, scholarships, etc., to support getting started with developing and applying the technology in practice.
Furthermore, participation can serve as a special networking icebreaker for the Commercialising Quantum event.
Target group
Danish and UK stakeholders from research, industry, and the policy level and journalists.
Practical Information
Participants are responsible for covering their own costs and logistics related to the trip, including flights, local transport, accommodation and food. Likewise, any costs related to participation in Commercialising Quantum must be covered by the participants themselves, and registration for Commercialising Quantum is handled individually.
Participation in both the programme Monday 15th of June and the reception at the embassy is free of charge. It is expected that participants are already attending Commercialising Quantum.
