“Quantum Ready” is a long-term training for trainers (LTToT) that demystifies quantum technologies and digital industries, focusing on what they mean for future jobs and how youth workers and educators can guide young people to navigate (and shape) these changes.

Rather than diving into technical math, the course translates complex topics into clear, ethical, and inclusive conversations you can take back to your classrooms, youth centres, and communities.

Focus Areas: Quantum technology, AI and automation, digital literacy, career guidance, future employability, and ethical technology use.

Key Activities: Non-technical quantum computing workshops, virtual quantum circuit simulations, development of career guidance methodology, ethical technology discussions, and European network building.‌

Participants are from France, Hungary, Italy, Lithuania, Malta, North Macedonia, Poland, Portugal, Sweden, and Luxembourg.

The Long-Term Training Course “Quantum Ready” is organised by Formation et Sensibilisation Luxembourg (FSL) and funded by the Erasmus+ Programme of the European Commission, and the Luxembourgish National Agency ANEFORE.

The International Science Forum is a conference that brings together leading professors in quantum physics, chemistry, and medicine. This event will be held in Istanbul, Turkey. International Science Forum’26 will be held between 30th and 31st January. The American Physical Society funds this event, and it is a collaboration between Bilim Meşalesi and the American Physical Society. It aims to bring together youth and the most esteemed professors in Türkiye and around the world, creating a cohesive ecosystem.

The 2026 Salam Distinguished Lecture Series, organised by the Abdus Salam International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP), will feature theoretical physicists Prof. Peter Zoller (University of Innsbruck, Austria) and Prof. Ignacio Cirac (Max-Planck Institut für Quantenoptik, Germany).

The Salam Distinguished Lecture Series is an annual presentation of talks by renowned, active scientists. The aim is to showcase important research developments as well as provide a visionary forward view. The lecture series is generously supported by the Kuwait Foundation for the Advancement of Sciences (KFAS).

At the occasions of the Faculty of Science’s 40th Anniversary and the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology, the Laboratory of Innovation in Science, Technology and Modelling (LISTM) at the Faculty of Sciences, University of Chouaïb Doukkali in El Jadida, proudly announces the organization of the 2nd International Workshop on Artificial Intelligence and Innovation in Science, Technology and Modeling (IWA2ISTM’2025). This event seeks to provide a dynamic platform for fostering collaboration and advancing the frontiers of artificial intelligence in scientific and technological innovation.

Objectifs de la formation : Assurer une excellente formation ayant comme but la maîtrise de différents concepts et disciplines des sciences physiques (fondamentales et appliquées), tout en utilisant des nouvelles technologies digitales et des connaissances pointues et articulées autour de la modélisation, les mathématiques avancées, la programmation, la simulation, l’optimisation, l’analyse de performance, l’intelligence artificielle, le big data, le machine learning et le deep learning qui offrent par essence des approches intelligentes de résolution de problèmes que ça soit pour la physique ou autres. D’autre part, l’innovation, l’entreprenariat, les langues étrangères et les compétences de force seront un atout pour les étudiants désirants d’entrer directement dans le milieu socio-économique, ou de faire la recherche scientifique et /ou de se lancer dans le monde de l’entreprenariat et de startups. L’interdisciplinarité de la formation en MPC va permettre aux diplômés de s’adapter à des métiers variés dans de différents domaines d’activité.

The Department of Chemistry, SF, PSG College of Arts and Science, Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, India, is organizing a workshop titled “Introduction to Computational Chemistry Methods: A Need for Today-III” on December 30 and 31, 2025, to celebrate the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology. This workshop aims to raise awareness among college students, research scholars, and staff members across different colleges about quantum science and technology. Additional expert-led lectures and hands-on training will be provided to help users leverage the Quantum Chemistry Tools and understand the applications of quantum science and technology.

This installation invites visitors into the whimsical world of quantum curiosity, featuring the iconic Schrödinger’s cat and the charm of a jeep. It creates a striking visual metaphor for Schrödinger’s cat thought experiment, highlighting quantum paradoxes, especially superposition and the observer effect.

The Installation

Erwin Schrödinger sits on the bonnet of the jeep, looking introspective. On his shoulder, a lifelike cat gazes out into the distance, embodying the paradoxical fate of its famous counterpart. This installation visually represents the quantum principle that reality is shaped by observation. By placing Schrödinger and the cat in a dynamic, everyday setting, we invite viewers to ponder the fundamental nature of reality, where particles can exist in multiple states simultaneously, much like Schrödinger’s cat is both alive and dead until observed. The jeep, often a symbol of adventure and exploration, becomes a vessel for exploring the unknown territories of quantum physics.

Artistic Vision

Our installation combines art, science, and humour to make complex quantum concepts accessible and engaging to a broad audience. By comparing the deterministic world of classical physics with the probabilistic nature of quantum mechanics, we invite viewers to embrace the uncertainty and wonder of the quantum realm.

On 20th December 2025, the Gujarat Council on Science and Technology (GUJCOST), Department of Science and Technology, Government of Gujarat, will organize a two-day Science Communication Conference on “Public Understanding of Quantum Science & Technology” at Gujarat Science City, Ahmedabad. GUJCOST is a proud Academic Institutional Partner to the United Nations (UN) for the International Year of Quantum Science & Technology 2025 (IYQST-2025) by UNESCO. As part of the IYQ2025 celebrations, GUJCOST has conducted year-round programs and outreach activities on quantum science.

The conference aims to create awareness and deepen public understanding of quantum science, highlighting its pivotal role in advancing fundamental knowledge of the physical world and its emerging applications in sustainable energy, education, communication, and future technologies.

The prestigious conference will be formally inaugurated by Mrs. P. Bharathi, IAS, Secretary, Department of Science and Technology, Government of Gujarat, in the presence of the Director, Physical Research Laboratory (PRL). The inaugural ceremony will mark the commencement of two days of in-depth deliberations, expert interactions, and knowledge-sharing sessions focused on the rapidly evolving quantum domain.

The conference will feature nearly 200 scientists, researchers, educators, and students from across the country, along with international delegates, providing a unique national and global platform to explore the fascinating and transformative world of quantum science and technology.

A highlight of the conference will be an exclusive interactive session by the Hon’ble Minister of Science and Technology, Forest and Environment, and Climate Change, Government of Gujarat, Shri Arjunbhai Modhwadia, on the theme “Quantum Age: Our Collective Future,” scheduled for 10:00 am on 23rd December 2025. The session will focus on India’s preparedness for the quantum era and the collective responsibility of policymakers, scientists, educators, and society in harnessing quantum technologies for inclusive and sustainable development.

During the conference, there will be several keynote addresses and plenary talks on the public understanding of quantum science and technology. The participants will present their posters during the conference on the theme: Communicating Complex Quantum Concepts, Tools, Methods & Innovations in Quantum Science Communication.

Through this conference, GUJCOST reaffirms its commitment to science communication, public engagement, and capacity building, aligned with national priorities and the vision of making advanced scientific knowledge accessible to all segments of society. The Conference is expected to inspire young minds, foster interdisciplinary dialogue, and strengthen India’s roadmap in quantum science and technology.
