About Us - QuanG

Who we are

QuanG is an international doctoral programme funded by the European Commission under the 2021 MSCA COFUND call, with additional support from the LabEx LANEF, LabEx QuantAlps (IDEX) and QuanTEdu-France (France 2030) projects.

Our mission: to train the next generation of researchers in quantum sciences and technologies, by offering a structured, international, interdisciplinary research environment, closely connected to industrial needs.
