WORKSHOP: International Collaboration in Quantum Computing in Life Sciences & Healthcare

Working in conjunction with Industry leaders from Cleveland Clinic, GSK and Swelife, this workshop invites attendees of the Quantum World Congress to learn about the latest progress, and ways to engage with the Hub as it moves into the execution phase.


The Life Sciences and Healthcare Quantum Innovation Hub is a collaborative center focused on harnessing the power of quantum science to accelerate breakthroughs in life science and designed to facilitate cooperation to hasten the conversion of abstract ideas into practical technologies. Working in conjunction with Industry leaders from Cleveland Clinic, GSK and Swelife, this workshop invites attendees of the Quantum World Congress to learn about the latest progress, and ways to engage with the Hub as it moves into the execution phase.

WORKSHOP GOALS

The goal of this workshop is to foster international collaboration around quantum in healthcare and life sciences, by: 

  • Highlighting the opportunities and challenges of quantum technologies for healthcare and life sciences 

  • Presenting some of the ongoing projects and initiatives in this domain, involving different stakeholders and regions 

  • Identifying the gaps and needs for further collaboration and coordination 

  • Creating a platform for the exchange of ideas, experiences, and contacts among the participants 

Workshop Format:

The workshop will consist of four parts: 

  • A series of brief talks by the workshop chair and speakers, who will introduce the topic and share their perspectives and insights on quantum in healthcare and life sciences 

  • Breakout sessions for each stakeholder group, where the participants will discuss the specific challenges and opportunities for their sector, and identify the potential areas and partners for collaboration 

  • Report out, where the representatives from each breakout session will summarize the main outcomes and recommendations of their group 

  • Conclusion, where the workshop chair will wrap up the workshop and propose some follow-up actions and next steps
