European competence framework for quantum technologies (CFQT) :Reference framework for planning, mapping and comparing QT-related educational activities, personal qualification and job requirements

The European Competence Framework for Quantum Technologies is a taxonomy of the possible knowledge and skills needed in Quantum Technologies (QT). It describes the QT-specific competences and qualifications necessary for involvement in the QT industry. In addition, ‘classical’ competences will be essential, referring to non-QT-specific proficiency, e.g. in an engineering discipline or in an application area like finance or chemistry, as well as transversal skills, e.g. communication, collaboration, management or digital skills. The framework has been compiled in the Quantum Flagship CSAs (QTEdu, QUCATS) in order to facilitate the planning and design of education and training projects in Quantum Technologies.
