JRC is very pleased to announce that it has been selected to host the test and evaluation laboratory of the European Quantum Communication infrastructure (EuroQCI), currently being developed by the NOSTRADAMUS project led by the Austrian Institute of Technology, Thales and Deutsche Telekom. The project, began in early 2024, is funded by the Digital Europe Programme under the responsibility of DG CNECT. The facility’s purpose is to enable manufacturers of quantum key distribution-based information-security technologies to assess and validate their products in a secure environment, not linked to national control, with a view to future certification. Companies are encouraged to deliver their devices for testing so that governmental and commercial users of EuroQCI can be confident that they will not be vulnerable to cyber-attacks. Operational activities of the laboratory are planned to start from 2026 onwards and be progressively passed to JRC Ispra, with complete transfer by November 2027.
