In the Ether—A Festival of Quantum Science and Technology

In the Ether–A Festival of Quantum Science and Technology celebrates a century of quantum mechanics—a field that continues to revolutionise our understanding of the world and shape the technologies that define our future.

As part of the IYQST, this year’s edition of In the Ether invites visitors to explore the invisible rules that govern our world through a series of installations, performances, talks, and education programmes.

Situated across ArtScience Museum, scientific concepts come alive through poetic and tangible experiences inspired by physics, quantum research and technology. Interact with experiments and activities that explain core principles and reveal the inner working of devices such as quantum computers and quantum communication satellites.

The festival challenge us to rethink the nature of observation, the boundaries of perception, and the potential for research to shift the trajectory of our world.

Whether you’re an experienced scientist or new to quantum, In the Ether–A Festival of Quantum Science and Technology invites you to experience the beauty, complexity, and transformative power of quantum – through the union of art and science.

This festival is presented by ArtScience Museum in partnership with Ethereum Singapore and includes scientific contributions from the Centre for Quantum Technologies, Singapore.

Quantum Women’s Netwik

We are delighted to invite you to our inaugural event of the Quantum Women’s Network in New York City!

​Quantum Women’s Network is a community dedicated to supporting women and girls who work — or aspire to work — in the field of quantum technologies. We celebrate and value diverse contributions to this growing field, spanning education, business development, advocacy, partnerships, strategy, hardware innovation, and algorithm design.

​Our mission is to build a supportive network that empowers women and girls to thrive in quantum technologies, each from their own perspective. To achieve this, we organize various initiatives, including networking events where we come together to connect, share experiences, and strengthen our community.

​This inaugural gathering marks the beginning of our journey, and we plan to host these events monthly in NYC moving forward.

​📩 If you would like to learn more about our plans or get involved, feel free to reach out at quantumwomennetwork@gmail.com.

​We look forward to seeing you there and building this network together!

CyberQ

CyberQ 2025 is the UAE’s flagship summit for cybersecurity and quantum technologies, hosted by the UAE Cybersecurity Council and the Technology Innovation Institute (TII). Under the theme “Future-Proofing Digital Defenses,” the event will explore how quantum computing, artificial intelligence, and emerging technologies are transforming the global cybersecurity landscape.
For the second year running, the CyberQ Summit 2025: Future-Proofing Digital Defenses is providing a global forum for government, industry leaders and those at the cutting-edge of emerging quantum technologies to explore the dangers they pose to current cryptographic systems, the opportunities that post quantum cryptography is creating and the best ways to integrate new cryptographic solutions to ensure a smooth transition, without disrupting operations.

XII-GeoExpoFísica 2025

At the 12th edition of GeoExpoFísica, and its third hybrid (virtual-in-person) edition, we are opening a space for students from different regions of Colombia and several international institutions, along with engineering and geology students from the Universidad del Norte, to present their projects.

These projects, designed and developed by them, seek to solve everyday problems by applying concepts from various branches of physics: mechanics, electromagnetism, heat and waves, modern physics, biophysics, and geophysics.
Along with the exhibitions, we will have guest lectures on quantum science and technology to bring participants closer to these topics and celebrate the 100th anniversary of quantum mechanics.

The Institute of Photonic Sciences (ICFO) Open Day

The ICFO Open Day is a very special occasion when we open the doors of our research center to bring science closer to everyone. It’s a day dedicated to society, when schools, families, and the general public can discover what we do at ICFO from the inside.

You will have the chance to visit our labs and facilities, explore activities designed to spark curiosity, and meet the scientists and professionals working on cutting-edge photonics research.

The event is completely free and takes place on Friday, October 10, 2025, at ICFO’s facilities in Castelldefels. There will be three visiting slots throughout the day:

09:30 – 12:15: ICFO Open Day for Schools
14:30 – 17:15: ICFO Open Day for Schools & Families
18:00 – 21:00: ICFO by Night (general public)

It’s a great opportunity to learn more about how light is shaping the future in fields such as health, energy, communications, and the environment. Come and discover the science that builds the future!
