Interdisciplinary Research Group 4: Developing the Quantum Workforce and Quantum Literacy
The crisis/global threat: Decoupling large parts of the population from understanding scientific and technological progress and its opportunities.
The goal: Achieve interdisciplinary education, jumpstart projects integrating the arts and quantum science and engineering (QSE), and foster public attention to QSE.
