Three quantum topics suspended in Cluster 4

Digital, Industry & Space

The planned cancellation concerns three topics:

  • HORIZON-CL4-2026-04-DIGITAL-EMERGING-11 on quantum sensors for inertial navigation.
  • HORIZON-CL4-2026-04-DIGITAL-EMERGING-12 on standards for quantum technologies as a coordination and support action.
  • HORIZON-CL4-2026-04-DIGITAL-EMERGING-18 on large-scale photonic quantum computing platform technologies as a research and innovation action.

According to the Commission, this change follows the adoption of Council Regulation (EU) 2026/150 of 16 January 2026, which amended Regulation (EU) 2021/1173 on the European High Performance Computing Joint Undertaking and extended the EuroHPC Joint Undertaking's mandate to include quantum technologies. As a result, EuroHPC JU may include similar topics in its 2026 work programme and may open them for submission in the second half of 2026.

DG CNECT jointly with the EuroHPC JU will organise an information session to support interested applicants and provide them all the necessary information. Further information is available from EuroHPC JU, including updates on calls under its work programmes and EuroHPC JU website.

Luciad - Geospatial software for mission-critical operations

Founded in 1999, Luciad serves clients in Europe, Asia and the Americas. Though it recently was acquired by Hexagon Geospatial, they kept an agile SME mindset. Thousands of end users work directly with Luciad’s geospatial applications, and major systems integrators (think Airbus Defense and Space, Lufthansa Systems, NATO, Thales…) incorporate its software in their own products.

NCP Flanders went to Leuven to interview Frederic Houbie, the Research Projects Manager at Luciad, about how he sees Horizon 2020. Luciad is a partner in the MARISA project, which is a collaborative RIA project submitted to an ICT call topic
