Introduction

The European Quantum Week is an online multi-modular event that will run parallel to the Berlin Science Week. Organized by the European Quantum Flagship, with the collaboration of the European Commission, in the context of the Berlin Science Week, it will include outreach activities for the general public, specialized talks and presentations for the quantum community as well as European policy-making and institutional visions for the future of Europe within the field of Quantum Technologies. In a more specialized ambience, it will also feature presentations and talks by quantum experts, who will show the latest results obtained by the Quantum Flagship projects.

Audiences
The event will have three main target audiences:
