Call
Summary
The development of quantum sensing technology brings several promises and expectations, in terms of sensor performances and stability. However, in order to best exploit quantum sensors, it is critical to prepare the scientific community to use the data generated by such sensors, develop new or tailor existing processing algorithms, and initiate and develop new applications based on this enhanced data.
Detailed Call Description
The objective of this call is to prepare the grounds for the exploitation of Quantum Space Gravimetry mission data and foster the cooperation between the EU and Japan scientific communities on the topic. Effective QSG data exploitation requires research and dissemination activities to demonstrate the benefits of space-borne gravity field data and involve the relevant user institutions at early stage. To achieve this objective, one proposal will be selected. The proposal will identify Earth science fields relying on space gravity data exploitation and of mutual EU-Japan interest and will propose innovative algorithmic solutions highlighting the benefits of quantum space gravimetry. The proposal will discuss the expected QSG mission performance.
Horizon Europe will fund EU scientists only. Japan scientists will fund their own activities, expected to be at the same level as the EU contribution.
