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’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, 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).
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.
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.
The Open Quantum Initiative (OQI) supports activities— such as regional events, hackathons and the playing of the Quantum Diplomacy Game—that align with its mission of advancing quantum computing through open collaboration, education, and innovation.
Events and activities aligning with these principles can be supported or inspired by OQI.
OQI-supported activities
OQI supported activities—including regional events, hackathons and the playing of the Quantum Diplomacy Game—receive active involvement and support from OQI.
OQI-inspired activities
OQI inspired activities—including regional events, hackathons and the playing of the Quantum Diplomacy Game—build on, and take inspiration from the open-access material and resources published by OQI but do not receive formal support or involvement from OQI.
