Draft SRIA 2026 overview / Cross-cutting chapters
Presents equity, diversity and inclusion as a horizontal priority backed by the 2025 Global Quantum Needs Assessment survey, with KPIs to 2035 on senior women, attrition, mandatory EDI reporting, harassment, mentorship and geographic diversity.
Showing 5 of 5 items.
Milestone by the end of 2026
The Global Quantum Needs Assessment survey aims for 2,000 responses by the end of 2026.

| Objective and indicator | 2026 baseline | 2030 target | 2035 target | Page |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Objective 1: Improve gender balance at senior levels Women at PI/senior researcher level | Establish baseline: current % women at PI/senior researcher level (currently <25%) | 20 % relative increase in the share of women at PI/senior researcher level across Flagship projects | Taking 20230 [as printed] as baseline, 30% increase in the number of women at PI/senior researcher level; reach the maximum of 50% representation for a given gender in governance bodies | 282 |
| Objective 2: Reduce attrition of marginalized researchers Marginalized researchers who considered leaving | Baseline: >50% of marginalized researchers considered leaving (survey 2025) | Reduce to <40% of marginalized respondents reporting consideration of leaving | Reduce to <25%; gap vs. non-marginalized <10 percentage points | 282 |
| Objective 3: Mandatory EDI reporting for EU projects Projects with mandatory EDI reporting | 0% of projects with mandatory EDI reporting | 100% of new EU projects include EDI reporting requirements in grant agreements | EDI reporting integrated across full EU quantum portfolio; aggregated data made public regularly | 282 |
| Objective 4: Reduce experienced harassment and discrimination Experienced bias, discrimination and harassment | Baseline: 39% experienced bias/discrimination; 23% experienced harassment (survey 2025) | Reduction to <30% experienced bias/discrimination; <15% experienced harassment | Reduction to <20% experienced bias/discrimination; <10% experienced harassment | 282 |
| Objective 5: Strengthen community and mentorship infrastructure Network and mentorship | EDI network nascent; limited formal mentorship structures | Active Quantum EDI network operational; initial structured mentorship programme established for junior researchers | Mentorship programme covers ≥200 junior researchers/year; EDI network spans all major QT communities | 282 |
| Objective 6: Increase geographic diversity Geographic diversity of consortia and governance bodies | Baseline: Europe/US overrepresented in leadership; widening countries underrepresented | Dedicated measures in place to increase participation from widening countries and Global South in Flagship events and projects | Measurable improvement in geographic diversity of EU project consortia and governance bodies | 282 |
