The portal catalogue: all project records, incl. national and regional funders
The catalogue counts the published pages of the portal of every kind and every funder, including national and regional awards. The CORDIS section further down counts Horizon 2020 and Horizon Europe projects only, so its project and organisation figures are smaller by design.

Catalogue records by country (all funders and kinds)
Counts every catalogue record tagged with the country, national projects included, so the order differs from the ranking by participations in EU-funded projects on the country profiles. Country profiles

EU-funded quantum research (CORDIS)
Projects under Horizon 2020 and Horizon Europe whose title, acronym or topic refers to quantum.
Two different measures appear below and are not expected to match. The EU contribution (maximum grant agreed) is recorded per project, in EUR, and is not payments; it is the measure of the funding trends and at a glance pages. Net EU contribution is recorded against each participant, and is what the country table adds up.

By pillar
AI-suggested, pending editorial review
Pillars follow one method across the portal: the confirmed classification of a project where there is one, else the taxonomy rules on its title, else the snapshot keyword suggestion when a keyword matched; a project that matches none of them is "Not placed in a pillar" and is counted apart, not under enabling technologies. A project in several pillars is split evenly between them; post-quantum cryptography is shown apart.
| Pillar | Projects |
|---|---|
| Quantum computing and simulation | |
| Quantum communication | |
| Quantum sensing and metrology | |
| Enabling technologies and supply chain | |
| Quantum-safe security (post-quantum cryptography) | |
| Not placed in a pillar |

Coverage and methodology
Counts of published, anonymously accessible Quantum Europe catalogue records. Multi-country and multi-technology records count once in each distinct category. These are catalogue coverage measures, not a census of the European quantum ecosystem. Drafts, accounts, memberships and personal information are excluded.
Labelled fictional demonstration records excluded: 0.
Records without country information: 6801. Records without a technology classification: 10418.
Snapshot generated: 2026-11-03T11:33:29Z (UTC). The dashboard refreshes within five minutes after approved content changes.
Observatory indicators The indicator pages computed by the portal, with what each measures, its source and the date of its data.
