The IQT Vancouver/Pacific Rim conference, renowned for convening leaders in quantum technology, will feature Franziska Greinert, a prominent doctoral researcher from the Technical University of Braunschweig. Greinert plays a pivotal role in the QUCATS project under the Quantum Flagship coordination and support action, specializing in quantum technology education and workforce development. Her research endeavors at the Technical University of Braunschweig focus on addressing the educational demands of the quantum technology sector, with insights drawn from extensive interactions with over 30 industry representatives across Europe.
Greinert’s comprehensive analysis has been instrumental in developing the European Competence Framework for Quantum Technologies. This innovative framework is a cornerstone for standardizing education and training within the quantum technology domain. It provides a systematic approach for planning, mapping, and comparing educational initiatives or individual qualifications, facilitating a coherent and unified educational landscape for quantum technologies in Europe.
At the conference, attendees can look forward to gaining valuable insights from Greinert’s work at the Technical University of Braunschweig on identifying the critical educational needs of the quantum technology industry and her efforts to bridge the gap between academic institutions and industry demands. Her contribution to the European Competence Framework exemplifies a significant stride towards creating a skilled workforce equipped to navigate the complexities and potentials of quantum technologies.
