Research on Quantum Technologies in Partnership with G7 and Nordic Funders
The international Canada–G7–Nordic call for proposals on quantum technologies is officially launched (see the news release). The call aims to leverage complementary interests and research expertise across the participating G7 and Nordic countries to support multilateral or bilateral collaborative research projects in quantum science and technologies. Please refer to the call webpage for more information.
Each project must include at least one Canadian researcher eligible to receive NSERC funds and at least one international collaborator who is eligible for funding from Germany (DFG), Japan (JST), the United Kingdom (UKRI EPSRC) or Nordic countries (NordForsk).
U.S. collaborators may also be part of the proposed international teams, supported by existing resources or NSF’s existing mechanism for international supplements.
The Canadian applicant must submit a single collaborative proposal on behalf of the Canadian and international research teams through NSERC’s online system by September 24, 2026, before 8:00 pm (ET). International collaborators should consult their respective national funder’s instructions to determine whether they must submit a copy of the proposal or other application materials through their national funder’s process in parallel with the submission to NSERC.
NSERC will host information sessions for university researchers and RGO staff on August 19, 2026, at 11:00 AM ET (English) and August 19, 2026, at 2:00 PM ET (French).
