Who Should Apply

•Flemish researchers (FO or SBO track) proposing quantum technologies projects
•Research teams willing to coordinate a minimum 3-entity consortium across EU member states
•Principal investigators at academic or research institutions in Flanders

Tips for Applicants

✓Consortium building is gating: identify and lock partners from at least 2 other EU states early, and ensure alignment with QUANTERA III's quantum technology roadmap.
✓FWO evaluation follows the transnational panel rank, not a separate national review; write for an international audience and justify the Belgian contribution clearly.
✓Confirm whether your project qualifies as FO or SBO (not SBO spin-off) before investing in a full proposal; ineligible track assignments can stall applications in triage.
