The National Quantum Computing Centre (NQCC), in collaboration with the STFC Campus and Cluster team, is pleased to announce the launch of the 2025 call for proof of concept projects in quantum computing, funded through the NQCC’s SparQ programme.
This initiative is designed to facilitate the exploration of practical applications for quantum computing and identify use cases relevant to the public, private, and charitable sectors.
If you have a bold idea, this is your opportunity to test and demonstrate its potential using quantum computing technologies.

To support the launch of the call, we held a webinar on 14 August 2025. Participants learned about the call objectives and project scope, gained an understanding of eligibility and the application process, and had the opportunity to ask questions during a live Q&A.
The webinar recording is available upon request. Please email CrossClusterPOC@stfc.ac.uk for details.
