CSR Eligible

When QETCI started its journey, we noticed that there were no ready-made quantum policy experts. We started a quantum fellowship which helped us nurture quantum talent interested in creating impact in the policy space. Motivated by the success of this initiative, we want to support more fellowships and scholarships.

You can choose to donate to any one of the following causes.

Quantum Fellowship

Sponsoring a fellow or a component of the fellowship is a meaningful way for corporates or individuals to invest in the quantum technology policy ecosystem, support evidence-based policy discourse, and contribute to the development of independent policy talent in areas relevant to long-term national and industry interests.

About QETCI Policy Research: We do original, evidence-based research which offers traceability and teaches the highest standards of international policy research practices to the fellows. A policy programme typically runs for a year. A cohort of policy fellows is a group of 5 fellows.
