Kundapura, 12 Nov: Colleges across coastal and Malnad Karnataka are invited to become Founding Members of the Coastal Karnataka Quantum Network (CKQN). The network marks a historic step for the region: for the first time, colleges here are joining hands to build quantum technology capability together, making sure the region is part of India’s quantum journey from the very beginning.
Engineering and science colleges from seven coastal and Malnad districts can join by nominating teacher and student pairs for Q-SFDP 2026, a quantum technology programme jointly organised by the IMJ Institute of Research and MIT Kundapura under Q-Shikshashala (QuRP, IISc). Founding members will get access to the network’s quantum scientists, support for running their own workshops and FDPs, and training on quantum hardware kits.
The programme runs from 2 to 6 December at Kundapura / Udupi. Nominations close on 15 November. Colleges can submit nominations at https://imjir.org/events/?utm_source=press&utm_campaign=ckqn-founder-membership. Details are available at [email protected] and +91 8431795203.
