SparQ Access opens next window for academic proposals

SparQ Access – previously known as the NQCC’s Quantum Computing Access Programme – is now open for academic proposals!

The initiative forms a key part of the NQCC’s broader SparQ programme, supporting the UK’s journey toward quantum readiness. It provides UK academia with the opportunity to access cutting-edge quantum computing (QC) resources, helping to grow and strengthen the UK’s quantum computing user community. The programme supports:

– Accelerating research in quantum computing
– Developing skills for the next generation of quantum experts
– Driving application discovery across a wide range of domains

Academic users are now invited to submit applications for access to QC resources for the Q1 2026 period (2nd February-30th April 2026).
