Empowering women in quantum science – Apply now for the quantA Fellowship!

quantA launches a Fellowship Call for Women to foster diversity and support early-career researchers in quantum science — apply now and join Austria’s leading research network.

At Quantum Science Austria, we believe that diversity drives innovation. That’s why we are excited to announce a special Fellowship Call for Women in Quantum Science, aimed at supporting early-career female researchers in pursuing cutting-edge projects in one of quantA’s three core research areas:

  • Promote gender equality in the quantum science community

  • Support career development for women researchers

  • Attract international talent and foster collaboration within Austria’s quantum network
