The @IrelandQCI Quantum & Answers Trailer exhibited at @HEAnet's Conference 2025 in Killarney & welcomed on board Minister James Lawless, Dept of Further & Higher Education, Researcher, Innovation & Science and the inspirational Norah Patten, Ireland's First Astronaut. #HEAnet25
IrelandQCI PI Dr Deirdre Kilbane participated in a panel at Cyber Ireland's National Conference #CINC25 in Kilkenny last week + led a team of researchers on-board the Quantum & Answers Trailer, answering questions about the role of quantum communications in the security space.
The @IrelandQCI Quantum & Answers Trailer was in #TheDeise recently, showcasing at #Toys4Engineers @SetuArena with thanks to @waterfordcc. An audience interested in STEM visited our experts on-board in Waterford to hear about quantum communications & the @IrelandQCI project.
IrelandQCI proudly partners with ESB Telecoms &HEAnet, the industry members of our consortium. We came together recently at an INEX meeting in Dublin where our experts engaged industry stakeholders to discuss quantum communications and its benefit to various sectors #Engagement
