EuroHPC Launches 6 Quantum Calls with €119M in Funding
Aug. 24, 2026 — The EuroHPC Joint Undertaking (EuroHPC JU) has launched six new calls to advance strategic quantum technologies and the infrastructure needed to accelerate the development and deployment of next-generation quantum systems in Europe.
This call, HORIZON-JU-EUROHPC-2026-TIPT-09, aims to advance Europe’s leadership in trapped-ion quantum computing by developing a full-stack quantum computer with over 1,000 individually addressable physical qubits, fully integrated with classical high-performance computing systems and accessible via cloud platforms.
Projects are expected to develop a full-stack trapped-ion quantum computer with integrated cryogenic systems, advanced error correction, and standardised interfaces. The call will support the development of practical applications, establish European standards for quantum computing, and integrate with classical computing infrastructures.
The total budget for this call is EUR 20 million, with projects expected to run for 3.5 years. The call opened on 13 August 2026, while the application deadline is set for 17 November 2026, 17:00 CET.
The call opened on Aug. 13, 2026, with a submission deadline of Nov. 17, 2026, 5:00 pm CET.
Relevant details and information concerning this call will be available on the dedicated call page.
Through this call, HORIZON-JU-EUROHPC-2026-SPT-10, the EuroHPC JU aims to advance Europe’s superconducting quantum computing capabilities by developing a QPU with at least 1,000individually addressable physical qubits based on chiplet technology facilitating long coherence times, fast read-outs, and error correction capabilities.
The system should be cloud accessible for researchers and industry users, with a focus on demonstrating practical applications for businesses.
The selected proposal will need to build a full-stack quantum computing system including hardware, cooling infrastructure, control electronics, and comprehensive software. The action will also support the creation of European supply chains for quantum technology components.
The total budget for this call is EUR 20 million, with projects expected to run for 3.5 years. The call is open from Aug. 13, 2026. The application deadline is Nov. 17, 2026.
