Advancing

capacity building

The true impact of quantum computing will only be achieved through effective and inclusive education.

OQI is curating and supporting educational activities to further advance understanding and participation in the development of quantum computing applications for the SDGs.

OQI Educational Consortium.

OQI’s Educational Consortium brings together domain experts, quantum experts and diplomatic stakeholders to align and co-shape best practices in advancing capacity building and making educational tools and materials globally available.

OQI Hackathon in a Box.

OQI Hackathon in a Box, is a practical guide to plan and resource hackathons in quantum underserved regions. Aiming to mitigate the quantum digital divide, the toolkit combines resources on cutting-edge theoretical knowledge with practical methods to learn how to develop quantum computing applications focusing on the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Quantum Diplomacy Game.

This serious game on quantum computing multilateral governance brings challenges and opportunities to life in a fictional scenario. It is open to the public and designed to promote science diplomacy in an anticipatory, action-oriented, and inclusive manner and foster public-private partnerships. 

 

Play the Quantum Diplomacy Game

Engaging researchers and developers in quantum-underserved geographies.

Building on an initial partnership with NYUAD, capacity building tools to efficiently train young scientists from quantum- underserved geographies to use quantum devices and explore applications of quantum computing tackling their local challenges.

Give your learning journey more momentum.

Educational tools help to enable everyone around the world to contribute to the development of quantum computing and make the most of the technology. As OQI accelerates applications for humanity, it focuses on the utilization of software and algorithms rather than on the development of hardware.
The OQI invites institutions to submit their educational resources to be shared here, to leverage existing content and help build a repository of OQI vetted resources. The repository includes different types of education opportunities focused on Quantum Computing hosted by OQI verified education providers around the world.

Learn about engagement opportunities

OQI Partners are institutions that benefit from peer recognition for their scientific contributions or impact expertise.

Requirements:

  1. Either have served as OQI’s spearheading partners during its incubation phase or have consistently engaged resources to OQI’s work as OQI members for at least a year
  2. Commit to co-shape the OQI’s unique value propositions for the three years of the pilot throughout the 4A’s​
  3. Are vetted by the OQI Advisory Committee
  4. Abide to OQI’s values and openness principles

OQI Members are institutions that benefit from peer recognition for their scientific contributions or their impact expertise.

Requirements:

  1. Have disclosed their governance structure
  2. Commit to actively contribute on at least one of the 4A’s assiduously for at least one year​
  3. Have appointed at least one expert from their institution as focal point of contact for OQI and contributor to its working groups
  4. Abide to OQI’s values
  5. Have submitted a complete membership form with supporting documentation and are vetted by the OQI Management Team
  6. Qualify for partner level after having demonstrated their commitment for at least one year​

OQI Friends are individuals (such as experts from the private or public sector, countries, citizens) who are committed to open science, inclusivity and all values as set out in OQI’s charter and associate themselves with the OQI.

Friends socialise the OQI to their communities.

Description:

The Open Quantum Institute (OQI) is a multilateral governance initiative that promotes global and inclusive access to quantum computing and the development of applications for the benefit of humanity. As a novel science diplomacy instrument, it brings together research, diplomacy, private sector and philanthropy stakeholders. OQI is hosted by CERN during its pilot phase (2024-2026).

 

Mission:

• Accelerating applications for humanity: Realising the full potential of quantum computing to have the widest possible societal impact by accelerating the development of use cases geared towards achieving the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and succeeding framework , thanks to the combined forces of researchers, developers and entrepreneurs from academia and private sector as well as the United Nations, and large NGOs
• Access for all: Providing global, inclusive and equitable access to a pool of public and private quantum computers and simulators available via the cloud
• Advancing capacity building: Developing educational tools to enable everyone around the world to contribute to the development of quantum computing and make the most of the technology
• Activating multilateral governance for the SDGs: Providing a neutral forum to help shape multilateral governance of quantum computing for the SDGs

 

Values:

• Inclusivity, global scope
  • Enable people from all countries, regardless of whether they have any quantum computing capability of their own, to benefit from and to participate in the development of (i) quantum computing applications that address global challenges, in particular those that are closely related to their own specific challenges, and (ii) the multilateral governance of quantum computing for the SDGs
• Openness
  • Share experiences, knowledge, and methods for the benefit of all, following Open Science best practice
  • Make openly available the results – outcomes of joint activities related to the OQI mission conducted by the OQI community – to society via open repositories and/or through the use of open licences
• Focus on impact
  • Ensure that applications are developed for their quantum computing potential to tackle real-world problems that will benefit humanity
  • Consider and balance their ethical, legal, and societal implications
• Independence
  • Enable everyone to participate free from individual, national, corporate or any other agendas
  • Develop applications with a technology neutral approach.
• Collaboration
  • Foster a community of diverse expertise, backgrounds and geographies, enabled by international cooperation and diplomacy
