The IRPC is co-organizing an in-person workshop, the Quantum Constitutionalism Workshop: Law and Governance for the Quantum Age, that will take place in Bremen, Germany on November 7-8, 2022. If you are in the area, please let the organizers know through the website. The goal of the workshop is to bring together researchers from different disciplines (such as computer science, law, political science, etc.) to develop a research agenda focusing on the future rollout of quantum technologies such as quantum cryptography and the impact these might have on human rights. Outputs will be shared through this newsletter.
