QUANTUM READINESS FOR THE WORLD OF WORK
Available in English
Heightened interest in the development and viable use-case applications of quantum technology calls into question the relevance and preparedness of many of the systems and tools regulating our everyday lives, globally.
From determining energy supplies, to establishing cybersecurity and safety parameters, to governing digital urban infrastructure and global financial mechanisms, there are entire digital architectures with the potential of having to be completely redesigned and reinvented in the span of 1-2 decades.
It's time to get quantum ready
Jointly created by the ITCILO, Leiden University, Politecnico di Torino, Quantum Delta Leiden, and in knowledge partnership with GESDA, this course offers a deep dive into the world of quantum technologies and their relevance to socio-economic sustainability and the world of work.
It situates quantum technology within the broader space of emergng technologies for the world of work. It equips you with the tools to evaluate which business and technical applications of quantum technology may best suit you and you organization. It explores existing use-case applications and the hardware breakthroughs required to make these available at scale.
Grounded in the ILO approach of embracing and fostering human-centred technological innovations, this Masterclass also features dedicated video sessions on exploring the ethical implications of deploying quantum technology at scale, minimizing or eliminating the risk of global digital divides cutting across the North-South, urban-rural lines, and fostering inclusion across the discrete domains of quantum technology.
Join our experts through a journey of exclusive insights and real-world examples on quantum technology and their business, technical, sustainability and ethical implications.
