Abstract
The Republic of Croatia recognized the importance of the European Quantum Communication Infrastructure (EuroQCI) initiative and signed the Declaration on European Quantum Communication Infrastructure in 2019, committing to activities aimed at building a secure quantum communication infrastructure covering the entire European Union. As the first step on this path, the CroQCI Consortium was formed.
The CroQCI Consortium consists of key research and scientific institutions, higher education establishments, public institutions, and public enterprises authorized by the Ministry of Science, Education and Youth to develop the national Quantum Communication Infrastructure (QCI) network and prepare and implement the national project Croatian Quantum Communication Infrastructure – CroQCI.
The project proposal for Croatian Quantum Communication Infrastructure – CroQCI was prepared and submitted in response to the call DIGITAL-2021-QCI-01-DEPLOY-NATIONAL, published under the Digital Europe program, and has been approved for funding.
The project is coordinated by the Croatian Academic and Research Network – CARNET.
In addition to funding from the Digital Europe program, the CroQCI project will also be financed through investments of the National Recovery and Resilience Plan 2021-2026.
