Expert workshop: Quantum technologies for future power and energy systems (Utrecht, March 4)

The Quantum4EnergyNL initiative is organizing a workshop on quantum technologies for future power and energy systems. We warmly invite researchers and professionals from academia, industry, and policy to participate and explore opportunities, challenges, and future collaboration.

This workshop aims to bring together experts approaching power and energy systems from both the ICT and electrical engineering domains, with an interest in quantum technology applications, as well as quantum technology/algorithm researchers who are interested in power/energy applications of their research.

🗓️ Workshop attendance is free of charge. We can accommodate up to 40 participants. If you are interested in participating, you can register using the form below. Please note that participation will be subject to a selection process to ensure diversity across disciplines, institutions, and sectors.
