Alliance International Collaboration Quantum Grants

Alliance International Collaboration Quantum grants provide support for researchers in Canada to establish and grow international research collaborations that will strengthen research excellence in Canada and abroad, and further develop Canadian research strengths and leadership in quantum science and technology. These grants support Canadian academic researchers collaborating on research projects with international researchers from the academic sector. The grants are intended to fund joint international projects that have been peer-reviewed and awarded by the national funding agency of the international academic collaborator(s). Proposals may address any challenges in quantum science, but their thrust must aim to advance one or more of the National Quantum Strategy (NQS) missions by advancing research in areas such as quantum algorithms/encryption, quantum communications, quantum computing, quantum materials, or quantum sensing. As part of Canada's National Quantum Strategy, this funding opportunity builds on NSERC's sustained investments in quantum research to amplify Canada's significant strengths in quantum research, grow quantum-ready technologies, and solidify Canada's global leadership in this area.
