How projects are counted: the figure above is the number of EU-funded quantum projects in CORDIS with at least one participant in Ukraine, the definition used across the country pages. National projects are counted separately below. The projects listing filtered by country shows the records whose own country (coordinator or host) is Ukraine, EU and national together, and the map counts portal records the same way, so their numbers differ.

EU quantum contribution as a share of GERD--

Method: the CORDIS figures are totals over all EU-funded quantum projects in the catalogue (projects starting 2015 to 2027); population and GDP are the latest single year Eurostat publishes for Ukraine. Figures per inhabitant and per unit of GDP therefore set cumulative quantum funding against one year of population or output: they correct for the size of the country, not for time. The share of GERD compares yearly averages instead: the EU quantum contribution divided by the number of project start years, against the average yearly GERD over the years of the same span that have a figure. The time windows of the two sources differ, so read these as indicators of relative scale, not as budget shares. Provisional and estimated values are marked as Eurostat flags them. A dash means no figure or no EU contribution; "less than" marks a positive figure too small to show at this precision.

Quantum areas

EU quantum projects on this portal with at least one participant from this country, by quantum area
Quantum areaProjects
Quantum computing and simulation1
Quantum sensing and metrology1
Quantum-safe security (post-quantum cryptography)1
Not placed in a pillar1

4 distinct projects in all; a project with several areas counts in each. 1 project is placed by the taxonomy rules on its title or a keyword suggestion, pending review (it has no reviewed technology tag). 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.

Regional and cohesion funding

Quantum-related projects co-funded by EU cohesion policy (European Regional Development Fund, European Social Fund, Cohesion Fund), selected and managed by national and regional authorities and located in this country according to the source. They are not in CORDIS and not part of the EU research figures above. Sources and methods: data sources page.
