Project and ecosystem

A particles ecosystem with the Humanities at it heart
The TIQuA project seeks to bring the Social and Human Sciences into the development of future quantum innovations. These innovations are still undecided or undetermined, which represents an opportunity for a fundamental reflection on the meaning of these technologies. What new possibilities do they hold? To address this question, the project calls upon theoretical philosophy, ethics and political philosophy, innovation knowledge and environmental sciences.
