Quantum Talents Symposium Munich

Join us at the Quantum Talents Symposium in Munich!

The event is designed as a platform for showcasing groundbreaking research in quantum science and for scientific exchange among young and talented quantum researchers. 

Our mission is to facilitate knowledge sharing, inspire collaboration, and promote career opportunities in quantum science, with a strong commitment to diversity and inclusivity.

Who can apply: We invite applications from outstanding and driven early-career researchers. Eligibility criteria include PhD students and postdocs who are at the forefront of quantum science. Applicants must demonstrate their contribution to the field with at least one first-author publication in a peer-reviewed journal. 

Selection Criteria: Our selection process prioritizes academic excellence and exceptional research potential. Finalists will be selected on three key criteria: scientific excellence, scientific vision, and our commitment to diversity in quantum research. 

About the Symposium:

• duration: two days
• ten symposium finalists' presentations
• lectures from invited speakers
• interactive activities
• lab tours in Munich's leading quantum groups at LMU, TUM, and MPQ
