Continuing with EUCENTRAL team members. Dawid Hryniuk joined in June as an assistant researcher, focusing on the development of quantum Monte Carlo and tensor network methods, as well as on adjustment of our codes for broader use, and tutorial preparation. Thank you for your contributions!

CTP PAS delegation’s (Krzysztof Pawlowski, Remigiusz Augusiak, Anna Raiter-Smiljanic) study visit at University College London concluded on 17 July. The members met with:
Prof. Andrew Fisher (UCL, former director of LCN, consultant at Quantum Motion) on collaborative research projects within the London Centre for Nanotechnology,
Prof. Raman Prinja (UCL, Head of Physics & Astronomy) on the management of a large-scale academic body,
Prof. John Morton (UCL, founder and CTO of Quantum Motion) on developing a quantum technologies-oriented company and attracting venture capital.

Continuing CTP PAS delegation’s (K. Pawłowski, R. Augusiak, A. Raiter-Smiljanic) study visit at University College London, the members discussed more topics with our partners at UCL.
On 16 July, CTP members met with:
Owal Alouch (UCL) on the best practices in the recruitment process of scientists,
Lucy Keepking (LCN, previously UCL) on the division of administrative tasks between specialists and research staff,
Rebecca Martin (UCL) on the best practices in project budget management at UCL.

We would like to present more EUCENTRAL team members who have worked with us in the past months. Jack Dunham joined in February as a support team technical specialist, focusing on software development, data management, and creation of code and software documentation. Thank you for your contributions!

A CTP PAS delegation (K. Pawłowski, R. Augusiak, A. Raiter-Smiljanic) recently visited University College London to meet with representatives from both industry and academia, and to learn more about best practices in quantum technologies research and institute management.

On 15 July, CTP PAS members met with:
• Prof. Toby Cubitt (UCL, co-founder, CTO & CSCIO of Phasecraft), on public–private collaboration in research,
• Celine Baron, Laura Bovo, and Beata Grzyb (UCL Business), on intellectual property management,
• and Prof. Dan Browne (UCL, former director of Centre for Doctoral Training in Developing Quantum Technologies) who shared his experience as a co-director of jointly funded PhD programmes in quantum technologies.

Coming in 2026: an opportunity to establish and lead a new Quantum Modelling Group. Are you ready to shape the future of quantum research? Stay tuned - details of the upcoming competition will be announced soon.
