The International Year of Quantum (IYQ2025) Opening Ceremony at UNESCO in Paris was a landmark event, bringing together some of the world’s leading scientists, policymakers, and industry pioneers. The event marked the beginning of a year-long celebration of quantum science, highlighting its role in shaping the future of technology, education, and global collaboration.
Diya Nair, Global Lead for Outreach and United Kingdom’s Ambassador of Girls in Quantum, attended the ceremony to capture key moments from the event. She created a vlog that takes you behind the scenes, showcasing thought-provoking panel discussions, inspiring keynote insights from Nobel Laureates who have shaped the field and much more! A key focus of the discussions was speakers emphasising the importance of investing in quantum education to equip future generations with the knowledge and skills to shape this rapidly evolving field.
Another central theme was quantum’s potential to address some of the world’s most pressing challenges. Experts discussed applications in quantum sensing, which could revolutionise medical diagnostics and environmental monitoring; cybersecurity, where quantum encryption promises unprecedented levels of data protection; and financial services, where quantum algorithms could transform risk analysis and optimisation. The event truly served as a call to action, encouraging interdisciplinary collaboration between academia, industry, and governments to accelerate progress.

The Quantum Biology School is organized by Pioneer Science, an independent, non-profit initiative created by the D’Or Institute for Research and Education (IDOR) to intensify disruptive scientific discovery in Brazil.
The school will inspire a new generation of researchers to explore how quantum processes influence biological phenomena, from enzyme function to photosynthesis. The program fosters research, trains specialists, and promotes collaborations in this emerging field.
Taught in Portuguese, the school features renowned professors Clarice Aiello, Marcelo Terra Cunha, Marucia Chacur, Luiz Davidovich, and Pedro Pascutti.
Participants will also engage in poster sessions and attend international seminars with experts like Paul Davies (Arizona State University), Peter Hore (University of Oxford), and Fabrisia Ambrosio (Harvard Medical School).
With a strong focus on theory, experimentation, and computational simulations, the school is a key step in positioning Brazil at the forefront of this revolutionary field.
📢 This event went through a widely publicized and open pre-selection process but is now closed to new entries.
