Signing in and getting an account

For: Public visitors

An account is free. It adds saved searches, alerts, your interests and full catalogue details. Accounts for organisations, national contributors, Member State and Commission staff are approved by the platform team.

Request an account

Open Join Quantum Europe and fill in the form; say which organisation you work for and why you need access.
The platform team checks the request before the account is activated; a request alone does not prove who you are, so the team may contact you.
Accounts with more access (organisation, national, Member State, Commission) are given only to people nominated for them.
