On November 19th 2019, consortium members of the Quantum Flagship 2D·SIPC project gathered at ICFO in Barcelona, for the first annual meeting, to discuss the latest achievements of the project and set the future steps for the continuation of the initiative.

The meeting started with an introduction by the coordinator Dmitri Efetov who gave an overview of the progress of the project. After the general presentation, the consortium members presented the different work package tasks and deliverables, reported the results and advances accomplished so far, set common objectives and established the next steps of the initiative.

At the end, the partners discussed the standing point of 2D·SIPC as a fundamental science project within the Quantum Flagship and reinforced the importance of fostering future collaborations and synergies between the projects from the other technical areas (communication, simulation, sensing and metrology, computing) that could best relate to the goals that 2D·SIPC wants to attain. Such synergies are being targeted for creating collaborative efforts amongst projects with the objective of transferring quantum physics research from the lab to the market.
