01 / A shared question

Building quantum
competence,
together.

Quantum computing education brings together questions about teaching and the skills people will need.

As part of the DidactiQC project, this workshop brings academics, educators and industry representatives together to explore the challenges and opportunities of teaching and learning quantum computing at Norwegian universities.

Through presentations and open discussion, we will connect educational perspectives with needs across research, industry and society.

Daytime workshop: 09:30–16:00 · Room G108 ↗

What quantum skills
will your sector need?

Industry, Research Institutes, and Workforce Development

Join a conversation about how university education can respond to future competence needs. We welcome perspectives from industry and research institutes, including organisations still exploring what quantum computing could mean for them.

Which knowledge and skills would be useful to your organisation?

How can universities prepare graduates for emerging opportunities?

Where could education, research and industry collaborate?
