The International Association for Quantum Information (IAQI) is an association founded and ran by researchers in quantum information theory and related fields. It is registered as a non-profit association (Verein) in Vaud, Switzerland.
Broadly speaking, IAQI aims to support and maintain a non-commercial, international platform for promoting education and research in the area of quantum science. This in particular includes the creation of infrastructure which allows for organization of schools, conferences and workshops, as well as activities for the promotion, maintenance, and development of this infrastructure.
Currently, IAQI’s main activities include technical and logistical support for member conferences, as well as more focused one-off technical support of scientific events in quantum information.
Supported events
Currently supported conference series are listed here. IAQI provides both targeted and long-term support for the organization of each edition of the supported event series. This support may include, depending on the needs of the event:
- Use of conference reviewing software (HotCRP) hosted by IAQI
- Use of a website template provided by IAQI
- Hosting and archiving of conference website
- Access to IAQI sponsor relationship database
- Passing on of funds in IAQI’s accounts dedicated to the event series, subject to the approval of the Steering Committee of the event.
Other support
IAQI has internal funds that may be used to support targeted initiatives that further its goals. These can include, for example, supporting a small scientific event, sponsoring underrepresented demographics in the scientific community, financially supporting an award, outreach events, or other initiatives proposed by members.
Small forms of support can be provided on a one-off basis at the discretion of the executive board. To contact us, see here. More important forms of support are subject to approval by a simple majority in the General Assembly.
