A Centre for Quantum Science & Technologies (QuTech) is being established at the Foundation for Research and Technology-Hellas (FORTH) in Heraklion. The vision for FORTH-QuTech is for it to become a national and international point of reference in quantum science and technologies. This will be achieved by ensuring the continuous development of science, technology, expertise, and human capital, attracting high-quality scientific personnel and significant funding. This approach will also make FORTH a highly attractive destination for young talent.
