Q3-UP!

Needs-oriented and low-threshold qualification modules for quantum computing and quantum machine learning

The project Q³-UP! intends to counteract the shortage of skilled workers in the technology field of quantum artificial intelligence (Q-AI), in particular quantum machine learning (QML), a subfield of quantum computing (QC), with several needs-oriented qualification approaches. These approaches include the levels of university teaching, networking initiatives, further education for software developers and middle management in companies, as well as direct exchange programs between research and industry. Several low-threshold and compact learning modules will be designed, piloted, evaluated and consolidated in close cooperation with the Advisory Board during the project.
