In the quantum age, talent drives innovation.
BasQ offers academic programs, enablement modules and internship opportunities and is developing initiatives to reimagine the teaching of quantum science at all levels, with the aim of inspiring and educating the quantum workforce of the future.
Here are some key aspects of what BasQ is doing in the field of quantum education:
Curriculum development
Creating structured educational programs that provide foundational and advanced knowledge in Quantum Technologies. This involves designing courses, modules, and resources aligned with academic and industry needs to ensure students acquire the necessary skills and competencies.
Interdisciplinary Programs
Integrating Quantum Technologies with other fields such as engineering, mathematics, computer science, physics and life sciences, ensuring that students from diverse backgrounds can engage with quantum concepts relevant to their fields.
Workforce Development
Preparing the current and future workforce for the quantum era by offering targeted training programs, certifications and skill-building opportunities, thus bridging the gap between academia and industry and ensuring that professionals are equipped with relevant Quantum Technologies expertise.
Workshops and Seminars
Hosting specialized sessions where experts share knowledge, advancements, and best practices in QT. These events serve as platforms for education, networking, and collaboration among researchers, students and industry stakeholders.
Outreach and Public Engagement
Engaging in outreach activities to raise awareness about quantum science and its potential impact. This includes public lectures, demonstrations, and educational programs for K-12 students and teachers to inspire interest in quantum concepts.
International Collaboration and Mobility
Facilitating global partnerships and exchange opportunities with international institutions, research centers and companies. Mobility programs, internships, and collaboration in pan-European frameworks and consortia aim to promote diverse perspectives, provide access to cutting-edge resources and enhance global networks.
BIM-Q
Basque International Masters (BIM) is an initiative by the Department of Universities, Science, and Innovation of the Basque Government, aimed at promoting the internationalization of the Basque University and Science System. The program focuses on training, as well as attracting and retaining talent.
BIM is designed as a comprehensive postgraduate education and lifelong learning program, which includes courses, master’s degrees, seminars, internships, and mobility opportunities. It is developed in collaboration with Higher Education Institutions in the Basque Country, Research Centers, industry and business partners from the region, and international collaborators.
DIGI-Q
BasQ is actively involved in the DigiQ consortium, a European initiative aimed at transforming the quantum technology education ecosystem. As a Core Affiliated Partner, BasQ contributes to the development of a new European educational model by introducing innovative teaching methods and establishing a multi-country framework for postgraduate training programs in Quantum Technologies. The consortium, which includes over 20 organizations from 10 European countries, focuses on creating advanced courses, improving existing ones, fostering collaboration between students, researchers, and industry partners, and facilitating student mobility and internships.
