EuroHPC JU Call for Proposals for Quantum Access Pilot Mode

The European High Performance Computing Joint Undertaking (EuroHPC JU) opened the Quantum Access Pilot Mode call on 25 June 2026 to provide quick preliminary access to its quantum infrastructure. The call addresses all categories of users who want to collect performance data, test a method on a target system, develop code, algorithms or workflows, or run quantum computing training. The call is continuously open; cut-off dates on the first day of each month trigger the evaluation of proposals submitted up to that date. Projects last 3 or 6 months, access is granted within two weeks of the cut-off date, and allocations are expressed in QPU hours. This is an allocation of computing time, not a grant.
