Quantum Week at the European Center for Quantum Sciences

The European Center for Quantum Sciences has the pleasure to announce this year’s edition of the CESQ Quantum Week, from March 23 to March 28 2026 on the CNRS campus of Cronenbourg in Strasbourg. This week-long intensive celebration of quantum science, technology and innovation is back after last year’s success! Each day is dedicated to its own public: for policy-makers, early-career researchers, students, companies, startups and families and more, everyone is welcome!

On Monday 23 March, the Strategic Insights on Quantum Strategy and Careers is dedicated to policy and decision makers. 

This event aims to stimulate dialogue between different stakeholders, in line with the European Commission’s Quantum Europe strategy. It will help define concrete actions to empower researchers and policymakers to create research and innovation environments where people from different disciplines, backgrounds, professional paths, identities and geographical regions can fully contribute and be recognised, while preserving scientific rigour and excellence.

On Thursday 26 March, the Quantum Job Fair is dedicated to anyone from a bachelor level to a post-doctorate in STEM who wishes to connect with leading companies in the quantum industry. More information at: https://www.cesq.eu/job-fair/ 

On Friday 27 March, the Industry Day is an unmissable opportunity for companies to learn about how they can be a decisive actor in quantum innovation. Specialists will cover the use cases, startups and industrial partners in quantum innovation and the necessity to explore quantum technologies. This is the opportunity to network with researchers, innovators, and business leaders that share a common ideal.
