EDU-WACQT support for quantum technology undergraduate education

The support is intended for salaries for teachers and teaching assistants, for course development and coordination, including giving a new or modified course a first time. The funding can be used during the academic year 25/26.

To apply for support for course coordination and development, send the following information to the graduate school director ( peter.samuelsson@fysik.lu.se ):

• A short description of the course/coordination effort (approximately 500 words).
• A coarse budget with estimated full costs, including estimated teaching hours, salaries (excluding OH and LKP) as well as the OH and LKP percentages for your institution.
• A short description of how the course/coordination efforts fulfill one or several of the aims for EDU-WACQT project, see below.

The graduate school committee will then respond with a decision for the amount of support, possibly after requesting more information.
The aims of the EDU-WACQT are (at Swedish universities):

• to lead to development of new courses within quantum technology.
• to make new and existing quantum technology courses available between universities.
• to support existing and novel course modules, including bachelor and master’s programs and tracks in quantum technology

A condition for the support is that the developed material for the courses is made openly available, including at the WACQT homepage, so that they can be used at all Swedish universities.

We emphasize that the support will follow standard MMW rules for indirect costs, details will be communicated to the applicants who are being granted support.

The last call for proposals opens in May 2025 and closes at noon on Friday 25 June 2025.
