Novo Nordisk Foundation Quantum-life Workshop

Quantum phenomena underlie complex processes in nature and can be utilized to bring computation and simulation into a new era.This second quantum revolution aims at engineering and controlling quantum systems for specific applications, thus overcoming the barriers currently imposed by classical approaches. Quantum technologies hold the potential to transform computing, encryption, communication, sensing and drug design, and to progress understanding of natural phenomena at relevant timescales and environments.The Novo Nordisk Foundation Quantum-life Workshop will bring together quantum-aficionados from academia, industry, and investment for an exciting day of knowledge sharing and networking, with the ambition to nucleate research-innovation partnerships and lay the seeds for realising new quantum technologies in the life sciences.<h3>Programme</h3>8:30 – 9:00 Registration and breakfast

18:45 – 21:00 Cocktail dinner, networking and posters<h3></h3>The final programme will be sent to all participants before the workshop, and will also be available at the venue.The workshop will include a cocktail dinner buffet, which is free for participants.<h3></h3><h3>Posters</h3>All attendants are encouraged to bring a poster for the poster session. Posters will be exhibited during the symposium and discussed during a poster session.If you wish to bring a poster, please select participation with poster when signing up. The poster should fit a poster board size A0 (841mm × 1189mm) – portrait orientation.In order to ensure that all posters are relevant to the symposium, the poster titles will be sent to the organising committee. You will be notified via e-mail whether your poster has been accepted approximately one week before the symposium. Only posters that are found to be off topic will not be accepted.<h3>FAQs</h3>How can I contact the organizer with any questions?If you have any questions regarding the workshop or the registration process, please contact Anne-Sofie Tafdrup (asl@novo.dk)Can I update my registration information?Yes, just log in to Eventbrite. Please use this option also in the unlikely event that you need to cancel your registration.Is it ok if the name on my registration doesn&#x27;t match the person who attends?No, since there will be name tags at the symposium, we ask that you do not give your spot to someone else without updating the registration information or letting us know via email.What are my transportation/parking options for getting to and from the event?If you arrive by car, it is possible to park in front of the main entrance, or along the side of the building (free of charge).Alternatively, it is possible to park in the parking garage at Waterfront Shopping Center, which is a five minute walk away from the Foundation. The parking garage offers three hours of free parking, and each additional hour costs DKK 20.Public transport by train to Hellerup station, and/or bus (1A, 21, 166). The nearest by bus stop is Tuborg Boulevard.Do I need to bring a printed ticket to the event?No, you do not have to bring a ticket, but registration is mandatory for participation.
