Two weeks ago, we closed the first Quantum & AI Breakfast on a line that stayed with us: "AI is improving the engine. Quantum is beginning to redesign the road." On 8 July, we turn to #sustainability. 🧵

Tonight 49 PhD researchers from across the world opened the ESERA Doctoral School 2026 at the University of Luxembourg. From Chile to India, Denmark to Brazil: their research is asking what it really means to learn science. 🌍🔬 #ESERA2026 #uni_lu

#AI is improving the engine. Quantum is beginning to redesign the road. Three things from the first Quantum & AI Breakfast of 2026: → AI in logistics is business transformation, not software → The hard part is the data, not the algorithm → Adoption depends on trust 🧵 #QuantumAtUniLu
