The international project «European Quantum Academy» opens new opportunities for students and teachers of the Faculty of Physics
Ivan Franko National University of Lviv is a participant in the large-scale international project European Quantum Academy, which won the European Commission competition DIGITAL-2025-SKILLS-08-QUANTUM-ACADEMY-STEP – Sectoral Digital Skills Academies: Quantum Skills Digital Academy. The project is coordinated by Aarhus University (Denmark), while the responsible representative from the Lviv University is Professor Khrystyna Gnatenko from the Department of Theoretical Physics named after Professor Ivan Vakarchuk.
The project consortium brings together 73 universities and research institutions from across Europe, as well as more than 100 affiliated partners. The project will be implemented during 2026–2029 (48 months). This achievement opens new opportunities for students and faculty of the educational program “Quantum Computers and Quantum Programming” at the Faculty of Physics. The initiative provides funding for educational activities in quantum information and quantum programming, opportunities for international student internships, scholarships and awards, as well as expanded academic mobility and knowledge exchange.
The main goal of the European Quantum Academy is to create a comprehensive ecosystem for quantum education in Europe and to train a new generation of specialists in this field. The initiative will be supported by shared research and experimental resources, as well as a digital platform for academic mobility and knowledge exchange. After the completion of the project, the European Quantum Academy is expected to become a sustainable institution that will foster the development of quantum skills in Europe while promoting long-term collaboration, inclusiveness, and international leadership in this strategically important field.
We invite prospective students to join the “Quantum Computers and Quantum Programming” educational program at the Faculty of Physics from their first year of study. The program provides an opportunity to gain fundamental knowledge in quantum information and quantum programming and to participate in international educational initiatives.
