About the conference

Niels Bohr's open letter
The Niels Bohr Institute has always celebrated the open exchange of knowledge. At a decisive moment in history, here he is, reading his open letter to the press in 1950.

A Platform for Excellence and Exchange

EQTC 2025 has three overarching goals:

  1. First, the conference seeks to deepen the connections within Europe’s quantum ecosystem by fostering collaboration among researchers, industry, and policy-makers.

  2. Second, it will serve as a global showcase of Europe’s academic excellence in quantum sciences as well as cutting-edge advancements in quantum technologies by presenting Europe’s progress to a global audience.

  3. Finally, the conference will bridge the gap between research, industry, and policy by integrating activities that encourage cross-sector collaboration.

Sessions and Activities

The conference will feature plenary sessions and keynotes from leading voices in research, industry, and policy, providing attendees with a broad understanding of quantum technologies’ potential. Technical sessions and panels will delve deeper into specialised topics, fostering in-depth discussions among experts. An accompanying exhibition will offer hands-on demonstrations and opportunities for companies and institutions to present their work.  

Organisation and Hosting

EQTC 2025 is organised as an official event under Denmark’s EU Council Presidency. It is hosted by the University of Copenhagen in close cooperation with the Danish Business Authority, Danish Agency for Higher Education and Science, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Denmark. 

Join Us in Copenhagen to Shape Europe's Quantum Future

EQTC 2025 comes at a decisive moment – positioned to contribute to the shaping of the forthcoming EU Quantum Act and to align Europe’s quantum ambitions on the global stage. We warmly invite researchers, innovators, industry leaders, and policymakers to gather in Copenhagen this November to take part in this shared endeavour. 

Whether advancing quantum science, developing commercial solutions, or guiding public strategy, your voice is essential. EQTC 2025 offers a unique opportunity to engage in meaningful dialogue, forge new partnerships, and help shape the future of quantum technologies in Europe and beyond. 

We look forward to welcoming you to Copenhagen.
