IUPAP and UNESCO are leading this initiative within the framework of the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology (IYQ 2025), which is being celebrated in 2025, but plan to continue in the following years. The 2025 colloquia will focus on Quantum Science and Technology to be aligned with the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology. This also falls under the wider umbrella of the Science Decade (2024-2033).  

This series of colloquia aims to bring together leading scientists, policymakers, and industry experts from around the world to establish an engaging and interactive multidisciplinary and cross-regional collaboration platform for science popularisation for quantum science and technology. It seeks to explore the latest advancements in quantum science and technology, promote knowledge sharing and innovation, inspire collective wisdom across diverse fields, foster the integration of quantum science with other disciplines, and contribute to the achievement of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

As the only UN agency with a dedicated mandate in science and the lead agency for IYQ, UNESCO is committed to closing the global divide in quantum research promoting equity in this field and inspiring young people, especially women in the Global South, to pursue careers in quantum science for a more inclusive and sustainable future.

Anne L'Huillier is a Swedish/French researcher in attosecond science. She started her career at the Commissariat à l'Énergie Atomique, in Saclay, France, as a PhD student until 1986, then as a permanent researcher until 1995. She was a postdoc at Chalmers Institute of Technology, Gothenburg, Sweden, in 1986, and at the University of Southern California, Los Angeles, USA, in 1988, and visiting scientist at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in 1993. She moved to Lund University, Sweden, and became full professor there in 1997. Her research is focused on high-order harmonic generation in gases and its applications, particularly in attosecond science. In 2011 Professor Anne L’Huillier won the L’Oréal-UNESCO For Women in Science International Award for developing the world’s fastest camera to record events in attoseconds (a billionth of a billionth of a second). She was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics 2023 with Pierre Agostini and Ferenc Krausz “for experimental methods that generate attosecond pulses of light for the study of electron dynamics in matter”. Attosecond pulses allowed humans to capture electronic motions inside atoms for the first time in science history, which enables us to control chemistry through learning how to control electrons.
