Southeast Asian Plus Quantum Coordinator Meeting

The Southeast Asian Plus Quantum Coordinator Meeting brings together leading researchers, institutional representatives, and program coordinators (science and diplomacy) from across the region to align efforts on building a coherent quantum science and technology ecosystem in Southeast Asia and neighbouring countries.

As quantum technologies move rapidly from laboratory research toward real-world applications, Southeast Asian nations face both a shared opportunity and a shared challenge: how to coordinate talent development, research infrastructure, industrial partnerships, and policy frameworks so that the region can participate meaningfully in — and benefit from — the global quantum revolution.

This working meeting provides a dedicated space for coordinators to:

• Share national updates on quantum research programs, funding initiatives, and strategic roadmaps
• Identify opportunities for regional collaboration in education, workforce development, and joint research projects
• Discuss mechanisms for resource sharing, mobility of researchers, and access to quantum infrastructure across borders
• Lay the groundwork for sustained coordination among Southeast Asian quantum communities

Format: Closed working meeting (by invitation)
