Applied Quantum Conference
Entering ESA site: Only possible with passport!
ESA/ESOC, GSI/FAIR & Merck are organising the first joint “Applied Quantum Conference”.
The event will take place at ESA/ESOC, Darmstadt (DE) on February 4th 2020 and will bring together industry and academia. The conference aims at identifying concrete technological solutions addressing current and future needs in our respective organisations, as well as connecting the communities and enabling interactions eventually laying the foundations for further collaborations. We have a stellar line-up of speakers from top universities, start-ups and international firms. There will be plenty of opportunities to connect, network and exchange ideas.
We very much look forward to seeing you at our “Applied Quantum Conference”!
With best wishes,
