Institute (OQI) – a new, three-year CERN-based programme that will help to unleash the full power of quantum computing for the benefit of all.</p> <p>Hosted at CERN, born at GESDA, supported by UBS, the OQI is a collaborative initiative that unites the future of science with the powers of diplomacy to solve some of the biggest challenges facing the world and humanity. The OQI focuses on a selection of SDG-related use cases to explore applications of quantum computing in fields like health, energy, climate action, clean water, and food security.  </p> <p>In the pilot phase, the OQI will build on its effort to-date and target the four key objectives: 1) accelerating quantum computing applications for humanity; 2) providing access to quantum computing for all; 3) advancing capacity building; 4) activating multilateral governance of quantum computing for SDGs. The work towards these goals will help to ensure that the whole world contributes to and benefits from quantum computing.</p> <p>The one-day event includes the closed inaugural meeting of the Advisory Committee, expert workshops on four key areas of OQI, and the official operational launch ceremony. The public is welcome to join the operational launch ceremony by registering <a href="https://indico.cern.ch/event/1378906/registrations/102888/">here</a>. There will also be a webcast link made available for everyone willing to follow the public part of the event remotely. In addition, future collaborators and everyone willing to actively engage in the pilot phase of OQI, can request to participate in one of the expert workshops taking place in parallel sessions throughout the day.</p> <p>For more details, and the full timetable, visit: <a href="https://indico.cern.ch/event/1378906/">https://indico.cern.ch/event/1378906/</a></p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </main> <footer role="contentinfo"> <div class="row cern-footer"> <div class="col-xs-12 col-sm-3 col-md-3 col-lg-3 footer-first-col"> <div class="region region-footercolumn1"> <section id="block-followus" class="block block-block-content block-block-contenteb39d733-4c37-42fd-8b0c-25ac2e9709d6 clearfix"> <h2 class="block-title">Follow Us</h2> <div class="field field--name-body field--type-text-with-summary field--label-hidden field--item"><p><span style="font-size:36px;"><span style="font-family: CERNIcons, CernIcons, cern-icons;"> <a href="https://twitter.com/CERNquantum">W</a> <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/showcase/cern-quantum-technology-initiative-cern-qti/?viewAsMember=true">M</a> <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/cerntv">1</a></span></span></p> </div> </section> </div> </div> <div class="col-xs-12 col-sm-8 col-md-8 col-lg-8 footer-second-col"> <div class="row">  <div class="col-sm-5 col-md-4 col-md-offset-0 col-lg-4 col-lg-offset-0"> <div class="region region-footercolumn2"> <section id="block-contactus" class="block block-block-content block-block-contentda82eef2-f334-4a0f-baaa-879a77aa70ca clearfix"> <h2 class="block-title">Contact us</h2> <div class="field field--name-body field--type-text-with-summary field--label-hidden field--item"><p><a href="mailto:QTI-info@cern.ch"><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="line-height:107%"><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">QTI-info@cern.ch</span></span></span></a></p> </div> </section> </div> </div>  <div class="col-sm-6 col-sm-offset-1 col-md-4 col-md-offset-0 col-lg-4"> <div class=" mb-4"> <div class="region region-footercolumn3"> <section id="block-generalinformation" class="block block-block-content block-block-content9ad1e86b-13a1-47e2-bc65-8b8ae06789a3 clearfix"> <h2 class="block-title">General information </h2> <div class="field field--name-body field--type-text-with-summary field--label-hidden field--item"><ul> <li><a href="https://home.cern/">CERN</a></li> <li><a href="https://openlab.cern/">CERN openlab</a></li> <li><a href="https://kt.cern/">CERN Knowledge Transfer </a></li> <li><a href="https://home.cern/science/computing">CERN Computing</a></li> </ul> </div> </section> </div> </div> </div>  <div class="col-sm-6 col-sm-offset-6 col-md-4 col-md-offset-0 col-lg-4 col-lg-offset-0"> <div class=" mb-4"> <div class="region region-footercolumn4"> <section id="block-disclaimer" class="block block-block-content block-block-contentbe7a43cd-67e5-4a30-bfec-819367709876 clearfix"> <h2 class="block-title">Disclaimer</h2> <div class="field field--name-body field--type-text-with-summary field--label-hidden field--item"><p><span style="font-size:14px;">This web page contains pointers to material related to the management of CERN QTI in the Information Technology Department at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN).
