Slovenian Quantum Science Hub

Welcome to SQUASH, the Slovenian Quantum Science Hub, an innovative, intersectoral programme focused on career-development and training, co-funded by the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions programme and the Slovenian Ministry of Higher Education, Science and Innovation.

SQUASH aims to advance research excellence and enhance the career prospects of outstanding postdoctoral researchers worldwide.

Postdoctoral researchers will have the opportunity to develop their own research ideas within one of 4 key areas of quantum sciences:

  • Quantum Theory,
  • Quantum Materials,
  • Quantum Technology, and
  • Quantum Computing and Information.

Led by the Jožef Stefan Institute and supported by the programme’s inspiring network of Associated Partners in Slovenia, the EU and beyond, this highly attractive programme offers options of career mobility and top-level training in both scientific and transferable skills.
