WORKSHOP GOALS
The goals of this workshop are to foster collaboration around quantum and space, by:
Highlighting the opportunities and challenges at the intersection of quantum science and space in the domains of space for space, earth for space, and space for earth
Presenting some of the ongoing projects and initiatives, involving different stakeholders and regions.
Identifying the gaps and needs for further collaboration and coordination.
Expanding the platform for exchange of ideas, experiences, and contacts among the participants.
Creating a platform for exchange of ideas, experiences, and contacts among the participants
Workshop Format
The workshop will consist of four parts:
Opening discussion: An Overview of Opportunities at the intersection of Quantum and Space
A series of technical talks on quantum technologies for Space applications
Two parallel breakout sessions, where the participants will discuss the specific challenges and opportunities, and identify the potential areas and partners for collaboration
Conclusion, where the workshop chair will wrap up the workshop and propose some follow-up actions and next steps.
