• Agrifood and natural resources
• Digital industry
• Digital society
• Energy
• Health and well-being
• Mobility

Canada and the UK enjoy long-standing cooperation in science, technology and innovation. In January 2024, Canada and the UK renewed the Memorandum of Understanding governing cooperation in scientific research and innovation, and quantum was identified as an area of cooperation.

Recognizing the importance of international collaboration in promoting scientific discoveries, the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) and United Kingdom Research and Innovation (UKRI)’s Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) and Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC) are partnering to launch a call for research proposals on quantum science.

Building on the complementary interests and research expertise in the UK and Canada, this collaborative opportunity with UKRI is open to scientific challenges in quantum science that aim to advance research in the technology areas of quantum communications and/or quantum sensing. Proposals must advance specific quantum missions described in the National strategies of each country.
