Building a secure digital future: Quantum Security Workshop in Edinburgh or online
|
QURECA is proud to co-host the Quantum Security Workshop alongside the University of Edinburgh’s Quantum Software Lab on June 5th, 2025, as part of Quantum Fringe Week.
This hybrid event is designed to raise awareness of the growing cybersecurity threats posed by quantum computing — including "harvest now, decrypt later" attacks — and to present practical strategies for implementing quantum-secure technologies.
With expert speakers including Dr Araceli Venegas-Gomez (QURECA), Dr Petros Wallden (University of Edinburgh), and a special guest from the National Cyber Security Centre, the workshop will cover emerging standards, timelines for secure system upgrades, and the role of public and private sector collaboration.
Free to attend and open to all, this inclusive session will equip attendees with foundational knowledge, promote cross-sector dialogue, and offer CPD-accredited quantum training opportunities for early-career professionals.

QURECA at the QTIndu & DigiQ event in Barcelona
|
At the end of April, QURECA joined partners from across Europe at the QTIndu & DigiQ collaborative event hosted at ICFO in Barcelona. The three-day gathering was a valuable opportunity to align efforts in quantum education, explore the Quantum Competence Framework in depth, and share best practices for building a skilled, future-ready workforce. Highlights included hands-on workshops, practical discussions on course development, and inspiring conversations around integrating generative AI into training formats.
We’re proud to be part of this growing community driving quantum skills development across Europe – and we’re already working on the next steps!

On the ground at quantum’s biggest stages
|
Last week, QURECA had the opportunity to participate in Commercialising Quantum Global 2025, a key gathering for leaders shaping the future of quantum technology. Over two insightful days, the event tackled the commercial trajectory of quantum innovation — from scientific readiness and cybersecurity to pilot projects and robust public-private collaborations. It was a valuable forum for connecting with industry stakeholders and driving forward-thinking discussions on making quantum a tangible, deployable technology.
|
We also joined the vibrant community at Q-Expo 2025, an inclusive event welcoming everyone from seasoned experts to newcomers eager to explore the possibilities of quantum. Q-Expo showcased a dynamic mix of demonstrations, conversations, and innovations aimed at broadening the impact of quantum solutions worldwide. It was a celebration of progress and an invitation to all to be part of the quantum journey.
Hosted by QuIC and Quantum Delta NL.
