## Eligibility & scope

EuroHPC call on Quantum Machine Learning, co-financed by the Research Council of Norway with NOK 12 million for Norwegian participants. International consortium required.

## Summary

The Research Council of Norway contributes NOK 12 million to the EuroHPC Quantum Machine Learning call, funding Norwegian research teams within an international consortium developing quantum computing applications for machine learning. The call requires a consortium of at least three entities from three EU member states, with Norway as an eligible participant. This is part of the broader EuroHPC Joint Undertaking initiative to establish Europe's quantum computing capacity.

## Who should apply

- Norwegian research teams with quantum computing or machine learning expertise
- Consortium leads at Norwegian academic institutions or research centres
- Teams able to partner with at least two other entities from different EU member states
- Projects combining quantum hardware development with ML algorithm applications

## Key dates

- Deadline: 28 January 2027
- Consortium-based application with minimum 3 entities from 3 EU member states
- Project duration and funding phases to be confirmed on EuroHPC portal

## Tips for applicants

- Consortium strength is decisive for EuroHPC calls, secure partners with complementary hardware, algorithm, or application expertise before drafting.
- The NOK 12 million is the Norwegian envelope; centre your budget request on realistic implementation costs, not the ceiling.
- Quantum machine learning is a fast-moving field, frame your novelty against the latest benchmarks (variational algorithms, QAOA, quantum neural networks) rather than general ML concepts.

## Frequently asked questions

### How much can a Norwegian team receive from this EuroHPC Quantum Machine Learning call?

The Research Council of Norway has allocated NOK 12 million for Norwegian participants within the broader EuroHPC call; exact award amounts depend on project scope and consortium composition.
