QuESP is a fully funded training programme commissioned by the QCi3 and QuSIT Hubs and sponsored by EPSRC. It is designed for researchers who would like to learn more about commercialisation, industry engagement, intellectual property and entrepreneurship. Participants do not need to have a business idea or be planning to start a company. The programme is suitable for anyone interested in understanding how research can create impact beyond academia.

The programme has been successfully running since 2025. Applications are now open for interested candidates to join the next cohort of trainees. Any master’s student, PhD candidate, postdoctoral associate, national lab or start-up employee in the quantum sector is eligible to apply.  

Registration closes: 30 October 2026. To apply, fill in this application form.
