QuESTech is an Innovative Training Network, funded by the European Commission, within the Horizon 2020 framework, part of the Marie Sklodowska-Curie Actions (No 766025).

​

Seven leading European research laboratories, two high-tech companies and four partner organisations provide a challenging, state-of-the-art training for young researchers in the general field of experimental, applied, and theoretical quantum electronics.

​

The project is organized along four scientific

Work Packages:

• 2-D materials growth and nanostructuring

• Quantum thermodynamics in superconducting qubits and quantum dots

• Spintronics controlled by spin-orbit interaction

• Electron transport in reduced dimensionality
   

On top of the scientific and technological training, there are special training sessions in scientific presentation; on IPR, entrepreneurship and start-up business; on interpersonal communication at work; on scientific article writing; on self-positioning and career planning. All young researchers will attend the ESONN summer school.

​

All individual projects are interconnected and every Early Stage Researcher will do systematic secondments in both the academic and private sector. A Personal Career and Development Plan describes their specified research project, Personal Training Committee, Science and Technology training topics, a detailed secondment plan and the targeted transferable skills.
