Call for editors: Quantum Europe Strategy roadmapping announced
Be part of the process: A plan for creating various roadmaps was outlined at EQTC 2025 last week – including an updated Strategic Research and Industry Agenda – with experts warmly invited to contribute.
As part of the European Commission’s Quantum Europe Strategy, various key roadmaps will be written within the next year, each serving as a chapter of a new Strategic Research and Industry Agenda (SRIA) for quantum technologies in Europe. This roadmapping process should be community-led, involving all stakeholders from academia to industry, and it represents a considerable endeavour. Here we invite willing experts to join editor groups for the roadmaps.
The process and its timeline were outlined last week at the European Quantum Technologies Conference (EQTC) 2025 in Copenhagen. Salvatore Cinà, who led the last SRIA-writing process, and Eleni Diamanti, Vice-Chair of the Quantum Flagship Strategic Advisory Board, presented the plans to members of the community and asked them to join in the process. The new document should be finished by November 2026.
They presented a draft structure for the new SRIA:
Executive Summary
Quantum in Europe – Fueled by Talent, Powered by Excellence
Pioneering a World-Leading Quantum Economy by 2035
Quantum Act: Implementing the Quantum Europe Strategy
Quantum Europe Strategy Roadmaps (see below)

Get involved
The Quantum Europe Strategy Roadmaps are as follows, with each one acting as a chapter of the SRIA:
These will each be drafted by an editor group of 8-10 experts, starting work in January 2026. Interested members of the European community are invited to join the editor groups for these roadmaps, by:
sending an email with your CV to info@qt.eu, specifying which group you wish to join, by 4th December
being ready for a strong commitment in the next 12 months.
The wider community will have the opportunity to contribute to the new roadmaps and SRIA via public consultations next year. So even if you do not take part in this call, you will have the chance to give feedback – everyone should have their say.
