Objective:Objective To ensure a coherent EuroQCI initiative and support the Commission, ESA and the Member States by providing key support functions in coordination, industrialisation, dissemination and alignment, enabling national and cross-border EuroQCI networks to discuss progress, to identify and utilise synergies in their work, share best practices and information about EU components and their certifications, supporting QKD standardisation efforts, and coordinating overall progress towards a fully functional EuroQCI. Scope:Scope • Facilitate connections and dialogue between the national and cross-border EuroQCI projects: support discussions on user requirements and use cases, standardisation and return of experience from the deployment of advanced national quantum systems and networks including on EU QKD components and systems. • Provide support to the Commission, Member States, and other stakeholders in the deployment of EuroQCI. • Produce a consolidated overview of the deployment of EuroQCI in Member States and a catalogue of approaches and technologies implemented in national EuroQCI projects. • Coordinate inputs to support discussions and decisions on the further development of national and cross-border deployment plans and strategic efforts, with a view to achieving an overall EuroQCI system (space and terrestrial segments). • Coordinate activities for developing an EU QKD ecosystem and the industrialisation of QKD devices in the EU. • Organise outreach events and activities, prepare communication materials, promote the EuroQCI initiative, and ensure interactions with other relevant initiatives. **conditions:** Conditions 1.
