We in Quantum

The WIQD Annual Symposium 2025 brings together everyone to foster a more inclusive, supportive, and collaborative quantum community.

This year’s theme We in Quantum celebrates the diverse experiences shaping the quantum ecosystem. Share your perspective, connect with others, and gain valuable insights on quantum, diversity, equity, and inclusion.

Building on the success of past years, over 100 participants have engaged in panels and workshops on topics like sustainability in quantum, work-life balance, neurodiversity, and burnout. This year’s programme promises even more exciting discussions, hands-on sessions, and networking opportunities, all centered around our expanded vision of ‘We in Quantum.’

Free lunch and coffee will be provided throughout the event, ensuring you’re fueled for productive conversations and connections!
