Giga-Open Quantum Institute event at CERN Geneva

On 18 October, Giga—a global initiative to connect every school to the Internet by 2030— and the Open Quantum Institute—an initiative to connect quantum’s capabilities to the UN’s SDGs—, held an expert session titled “Quantum for Connectivity.” Eline de Jong was among the featured speakers, where she addressed both the practical and ethical implications of quantum technologies. In her talk, Eline outlined key structural challenges involved in embedding quantum technologies into society, highlighting considerations essential for responsible implementation. This session also served as a preliminary event for the upcoming “Quantum Humanity” conference scheduled for Spring 2025.
