As QTurkey, we have decided to launch the QTurkey Student Branches (QTurkey University Representation) in order to strengthen our relations with university students, to include more undergraduate students in the field of quantum technologies and to make the field widespread.

What does QSB do?​

It organizes educational and promotional activities such as speeches, workshops, and training at the university where it is located, and supports the participation of new members. It works in cooperation with QTurkey and takes part in QTurkey events. It helps to ensure interaction between different communities by meeting with QTurkey student representatives at other universities.

How to become a QSB?​

You can apply for the establishment of the QTurkey Student Branch by bringing together 4 undergraduate/master’s/doctoral students from at least two different departments and a consultant educator. In addition, you need to create and send an intent calendar for the 6-month period after its establishment (You can browse previous QSB events at qturkey.org/events). Not all members need to be experienced or knowledgeable about quantum technologies. Anyone who can provide support in different areas such as organization, design, software and who is willing to build a community can be on the team.

These 4 people will become founding members and will encourage the participation of new members after the QTurkey Student Branch is established. It is preferred that at least 1 member has participated in the Bronze workshop before and completed it.

Why QSB?

QTurkey is the first quantum technologies community in Turkey. As an active sub-branch of QTurkey Student Branch, you can also join us and be a part of this new and exciting field while performing the firsts in Turkey together.

QTurkey is also one of the members of the QWorld community, active in twenty-five different countries. By joining the QTurkey network, you will have the opportunity to meet different researchers and interested people from around the world working in this field.

What Are Our Expectations ?

For the continuity of QTurkey Student Branch, we expect you to organize an event within the first 6 months after it is established. This can be a lecture, a workshop, or a working group. You can get support from us about the speaker.

We expect at least 2 of your members from the team to take active roles under QTurkey.

In case a mentor training program is organized by QTurkey, we expect at least 2 of your members to participate in this program.
