QuNeW 2025​​​​​​​​​​​​

15-17 October 2025 | Madurodam, The Netherlands

About the event

QuNeW is a biennial quantum networking workshop, with its first edition organised in 2023 near Boston, USA. We are excited to announce the 2025 edition, which will take place in The Hague, The Netherlands!

QuNeW will be a full 3-day workshop, bringing together 150 academic and industry experts spanning all sub-fields of quantum networks to discuss the latest advances in the field. The program will combine inspiring invited and contributed talks with multiple poster sessions for in-depth discussions of latest breakthroughs and ongoing efforts.

QuNeW 2025 will be hosted at Madurodam: a miniature world where you can discover all of The Netherlands in a day. Located in The Hague, a vibrant city combining musea, restaurants, parks, and the beach, and just 10 km from the thriving quantum ecosystem in Delft, this will be an excellent opportunity to exchange ideas, form collaborations, share knowledge, and shape the future of quantum networks.

Applications for attendance are now open, and will close on June 15th. Please see further details below.

Practicalities

Located in the heart of The Hague, the conference venue Madurodam is conveniently accessible from city hotels by foot, public transport – or, if you're feeling Dutch, by bike! The travel time from the central station in The Hague is approximately 10 minutes by tram.

Accomodation:

The following hotels have each reserved a number of rooms for conference visitors, with conference rates available from the provided links. Please do not book (non-refundable) accommodation until you have received a confirmation that your application to attend has been accepted!

De Plesman – approx. 5 minutes by foot – booking link

Novotel Den Haag World Forum – approx. 20 minutes by foot or public transport – booking link

The Hague is home to many more hotels, an overview of which can be found at denhaag.com, together with a variety of culture and tourist information about the city.

Participation Fee:

QuNeW is a not-for-profit workshop organised by volunteers.

As of April 2025, the conference finances are still being finalized, as is the participation fee.

We endeavour to keep the participation fee below €500, and based on sponsorship, aim to reduce this further.

Timeline:

We are now open for contributions, to be submitted via the 'Contribution Submission' page. These can be either a contributed talk or poster presentation, or, if you would like to attend without presenting, a description of your expertise and motivation. Our call for contributions will be closed on June 15th, from which we will create the programme, and in case of oversubscription, select workshop participants. We aim to announce acceptance on July 1st. If you have any questions, please reach out to the team at: QuNeW2025-qutech@tudelft.nl.
