The Next Generation Quantum Graduates Program (NGQGP) is an Australian Government supported program set to fund nationally competitive scholarships to attract and train Australia’s next generation of quantum technology specialists. The scholarships will be funded for study at Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF) Level 10 (Doctoral). Students will participate in collaborative projects between industry and university, including placements with partners to build career-ready skills, and to forge ongoing relationships and networks.

As part of my role as Science Director and Deputy Director of CSIRO’s Data61 I chair the steering committee for this program with oversight for the proposal, development and delivery of this program (from conception to launch and delivery over the year ahead)
