governance

QuTech is a collaboration between TU Delft and TNO embedded in the TU Delft organisation as a mission driven research institute. Our highest governing body is QuTech’s Board of Directors (BoD), responsible for steering the research & engineering, business development, and operations portfolios. The BoD reports directly to the TU Delft Executive Board, which consults with the TNO Executive Board where appropriate. The Research Director and Operations Director are employed by TU Delft; the Business Development Director by TNO.

QuTech’s research and engineering activities are organized along three divisions (Quantum Internet, Quantum Computing and Qubit Research), each following a coherent research and development strategy towards QuTech’s mission. The divisions are steered by a Division Management Team consisting of research and engineering leads. The organisation is supported by professional staff, both technical (hardware and software) and administrative (communication, finance, legal, and human resources). Together we push our mission-driven approach and the pursuit of excellence in science and applied technology.


QuTech invests significantly in demonstrators, to showcase, share, and test its research and engineering results with the general public. Demonstrator projects are run in the Computing and Internet divisions, supervised by a Division Demonstrator Board, comprising the members of the Division Management Team and the Director Business Development.
