We in Quantum Development (WIQD) is a growing community dedicated to promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in the quantum ecosystem. In this presentation, we will introduce WIQD’s mission and activities, share insights from our first Women’s Day Hackathon, and highlight why fostering an inclusive quantum community is essential for innovation and impact.
WIQD (We in Quantum Development) aims to build a thriving, inclusive network for professionals in quantum science and technology. During this 15-minute presentation, we will briefly introduce WIQD and discuss the importance of DEI in quantum development. We will also share lessons learned from our 2024 Women’s Day Hackathon (event page), where participants collaborated to tackle technical and societal challenges in quantum. By reflecting on these experiences, we hope to inspire more people to get involved, collaborate across disciplines, and help shape an open, innovative quantum community. To make the talk interactive, we’ll use Mentimeter to collect thoughts and ideas from the audience in real time.
