Organization

On May 4, 2022, the Federal Council adopted additional measures - in addition to the transitional measures already implemented since 2021 in the context of the Horizon Program 2021-2027 - including a national initiative to strenthen the position of Switzerland in the field of quantum.

The Swiss Quantum Initiative:

• is coordinated and led by the Swiss Quantum Commission.
• hosted by the Swiss Academy of Sciences SCNAT through a dedicated office.
• operates under a mandate from the State Secretariat for Education, Research and Innovation.

The competitive calls for research projects are conducted by the Swiss National Science Foundation, while those for innovation projects are carried out by the Swiss Innovation Agency.
