UQ-DTU Quantum Technology Workshop
The University of Queensland (UQ) and the Technical University of Denmark (DTU) formed a strategic partnership to support student entrepreneurship, academic collaboration, research projects and joint HDR student training.
Recognising the research expertise and innovation strengths of both universities, UQ and DTU cordially invite you to join a virtual workshop focused on Quantum Technology. The workshop will showcase senior Quantum researchers and PhD students on their research and provide an opportunity to learn about external funding opportunities through the Australian Research Council, Novo Nordisk Foundation, and the Innovation Fund Denmark to support high impact research.
DTU is a vibrant elite technical university, recognized for its high level of international research and its sought-after graduates. It is a member of Eurotech Universities and ranked first in the Nordic region by Leiden Ranking based on impact indicator of publications. DTU has more collaborative agreements with industry than any other Danish university, and is nationally recognised for supporting student startups through its innovation hub.
