UK Quantum Sensing Conference
The UK Quantum Sensing Conference will take place in Birmingham on 23 and 24 February, hosted by the UK Quantum Technology Research Hub in Sensing, Imaging and Timing (QuSIT).
This conference will welcome applications from anyone interested in quantum-enabled sensing, imaging, and timing technologies, offering an opportunity to increase visibility of their work and to foster new collaborations and partnerships for the delivery of the National Quantum Strategy Missions.
QuSIT supports the UK Government’s goal for widespread adoption of quantum technologies by 2035, aiming to enhance the UK’s global position and ensure these technologies deliver economic and societal benefits.
To advance this goal, the event programme will address three key areas:
Briefings on cutting-edge research activities
Modern perspectives on end-user challenges
Strengthening research partnerships and interdisciplinary links
Participants will hear from academic and industry speakers on emerging technologies and research challenges; gain end-user insights to better understand current and future challenge spaces; and join curated networking activities designed to help nurture new partnerships.
The conference programme will also highlight future opportunities and strive to offer attendees an opportunity to share their work through lightning talks, panel sessions, or poster sessions.
These activities are designed to enhance visibility of research across the UK quantum community, and to enhance partnerships, connections, and capabilities needed to help achieve the UK’s quantum ambitions and accelerate the delivery of National Quantum Strategy Missions outcomes.
This free event is open to researchers at all career stages. We welcome applications from anyone within the QT Hubs and the wider academic and industry research communities. Spaces may be limited and subject to approval.
Complimentary overnight accommodation is available to encourage nationwide attendance and support diversity. Please note: Accommodation will be allocated on a needs-based basis.
Lunch and refreshments will be provided on both days. Day 1 will be followed by a conference dinner.
