On Tuesday 11 June in collaboration with our partners Quantum Delta NL, NWO, TNO and ECP we are organizing our official QISS research launch event Quantum Computing and Cybersecurity: Cryptocalypse or Overhype? during Quantum Meets ’24! Quantum Meets is a free three-day event taking place from June 11-13 in the KIT Institute Amsterdam (Koninklijk Instituut voor de Tropen), connecting quantum researchers, businesses, end-users, and policymakers. 

During Quantum Meets, QISS welcomes you on Tuesday 11 June, 15.00-16.45, to an exciting afternoon session, focusing on the impact of quantum computing on cybersecurity and the society wide transition it calls for. Listen to stimulating presentations and a round table discussion with our invited international experts from academia, government, and the private sector (TBC): Bart Groothuis (member European Parliament), prof. Michele Mosca (U. of Waterloo), Anita Wehmann (Ministry of the Interior and Kingdom Relations), Jaya Baloo (CSO - Senior Vice President, Rapid7), dr. Itan Barmes (Deloitte), prof. Christian Schaffner (UvA and QuSoft), and mr. Ot van Daalen (UvA).

Join us this afternoon and take part in an interactive and explorative session for a quantum-safe society. We hope to see you during our QISS launch event! There will be drinks afterwards.
