On 7 March 2014, EPSRC - as part of the UK National Quantum Technologies Programme - held a briefing workshop for the applicants to the current call for a National Network of Quantum Technology Hubs. EPSRC staff were joined at the event by colleagues from BIS, TSB, Dstl, NPL and CESG, and outlined the vision and rationale for creating the national network of Quantum Technology Hubs. Applicants were taken through specific aspects of the application and strategic peer review process, had the opportunity to ask questions of EPSRC staff, and engage in important networking and consortium-building with their peers.

During the day, Dr. Sue Armfield (BIS) was pleased to announce that outgoing EPSRC CEO, Prof. David Delpy, has been appointed by David Willetts as Chairman of the UK National Quantum Technologies Programme Strategic Advisory Board.

A copy of the slides used on the day, and answers to some frequently-asked questions, have now been made available on the EPSRC website.
Members of the community who are interested in finding out more about the proposed Quantum Technology Hubs are encouraged to make contact with the Directors of the Hub bids, listed below. The proposed Hubs are still finalising their bidding consortia, and should remain open to exploring new collaborations and expertise.
