Europe is building a quantum ecosystem to leverage the potential of quantum technologies. It is expected that this technology will allow us to do things that are simply not possible today. The European Commission now has concrete plans to build state-of-the-art pilot quantum computers, based on a whole generation of emerging technologies. Similar to high performance computing, this will be the first step in the deployment of quantum computing infrastructure across Europe, on a non-commercial basis.

The Tools Platform provides services that enable findability, accessibility, interoperability, and reusability of computational tools, including research software, workflows, remote digital services, and trained machine-learning models. These services aim at being optimised for the needs of molecular life sciences, while at the same time they suit a broad range of interdisciplinary applications and scientific communities.

The ELIXIR Training Platform has built an extensive network that represents a wide range of training resources and services. The aim of this project is not only to manage this network but to evolve it, standardise it and connect all its different components. In doing so, a federated training establishment can be created that effectively caters to the diverse needs of the ELIXIR community.
