Shaping Quantum Education: National Networks, European Programs, and the CFQT — •Franziska Greinert and Rainer Müller — Technische Universität Braunschweig, Institut für Fachdidaktik der Naturwissenschaften

As quantum technologies approach industrial application, education systems face increasing pressure to respond to emerging skill demands. This talk outlines current initiatives -- from a German educator network to European programs -- aimed at building quantum competences across sectors. A central focus lies on the European Competence Framework for Quantum Technologies (CFQT), developed through iterative research and stakeholder engagement. The CFQT provides a structured model for mapping and comparing competences, supporting curriculum planning and workforce development. The talk introduces the CFQT with selected use cases, highlighting its role in aligning education with evolving quantum workforce needs.
