The Ethics & Societal Impact group explores the ethical, social, and governance dimensions of quantum technologies.
Its main areas of focus are:
-
•
Identifying potential societal implications of quantum technologies, including privacy, security, equity, and accessibility. -
•
Developing recommendations and frameworks to embed ethical and social principles across quantum value chains, policy frameworks, and business models. -
•
Fostering dialogue between industry, academia, civil society, and regulators to anticipate technological impacts and promote responsible innovation. -
•
Aligning the development and deployment of quantum technologies with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and broader European principles of sustainability, inclusion, and human rights.
The group’s mission is to ensure that Europe’s quantum ecosystem grows in a way that is not only technologically competitive,
but also socially sustainable, ethically grounded, and aligned with global and European values.
