External Advisory Board

Purpose

The External Advisory Board (EAB) of the Center for Quantum Networks (CQN) is an advisory body formed to ensure CQN is fulfilling its vision and objectives to the highest standards. The EAB advises CQN on research directions, testbed capabilities, industry engagements, and strategic investments. In doing so, the EAB serves to evaluate CQN execution of the four foundational elements of the integrated CQN strategic plan: Research, Engineering Workforce Development (EWD), Diversity and Culture of Inclusion (DCI), and Strategic Partnerships and Innovation (SPI) The EAB further ensures that CQN is relevant and responsive to the larger community of stakeholders outside of CQN, meeting or exceeding the performance and accomplishments of peer organizations globally.
