DESCRIPTION:\nApplications for the Quantum Talents Symposium will be open 
 until 1 July 2026. Apply here!\n\nJoin us at Quantum Talents Symposium Mun
 ich – an Innovation Hub where talent meets opportunities.\nThe symposium
  is jointly organized by several organizations of the Munich quantum ecosy
 stem: \n\nMunich Center for Quantum Science and Technology (MCQST)\,\nMuni
 ch Quantum Valley (MQV)\,\nInternational Max Planck Research School for Qu
 antum Science and Technology (IMPRS-QST)\n\nThe event is designed as a pla
 tform for showcasing groundbreaking research in quantum science and techno
 logy\, and for scientific exchange among talented early-career quantum res
 earchers. The program now also includes a research stay for the finalists 
 as well as the two-day symposium. \nOur mission is to facilitate knowledge
  sharing\, inspire collaboration\, and promote career opportunities in qua
 ntum science\, with a strong commitment to diversity and inclusivity.\nQua
 ntum Talents Program:\n\nSymposium with two days of conference\nResearch s
 tay of three days after the symposium\nInvited scientific talks by finalis
 ts \nFlash talks from Munich quantum community\nConference Dinner on Octo
 ber 27\nPoster session\nLabtours and meetings\nOpportunity for prizes\n\n
  \nCall for Applications - Eligibility:\nWe invite applications from outs
 tanding and driven early-career researchers who work in the field of quant
 um science and technology to be awarded special recognition as a symposium
  finalist. Specifically\, we invite:\n\nPhD students in their 3rd year and
  above\,\nPostdocs with up to two years of experience.\n\nApplicants must 
 demonstrate their contribution to the field with at least one first-author
  publication in a peer-reviewed journal (physics\, chemistry\, mathematics
 ) OR published contributions in top-tier conferences with full papers in t
 he field (computer science\, engineering).\nSelection Criteria for Finalis
 ts:Selected applicants will be invited to give a talk at the symposium as 
 well as a three-day research stay with a Munich group of their choice\, an
 d will receive support for their travel & accommodation costs. \nOur selec
 tion process prioritizes academic excellence and exceptional research pote
 ntial. Finalists will be selected on three key criteria: scientific excell
 ence\, scientific vision\, and commitment to diversity in quantum research
 . \nAll other applicants will be invited to attend as a participant\, at t
 heir own arrangement and expense\, and given the opportunity to present a 
 poster.\nAttending the symposium: \nInterested members of the quantum comm
 unity\, including MCQST\, MQV and IMPRS\, are invited to attend the Sympos
 ium! Registration will open in September.\nNote that participants who are 
 not finalists should cover their own travel arrangements and expenses. Reg
 istration is required for organizational purposes and is binding\, since y
 ou will be counted for catering costs. All participants will be welcomed a
 nd encouraged to contribute in the form of flash talks and posters.\nIn ca
