Description
Quantum science and technology is becoming one of the defining stories of the decade, yet for most audiences it remains abstract, confusing and overhyped. On the eve of VivaTech, 16 June 2026, UNESCO and France Quantum will host a one-hour hybrid masterclass at Station F in Paris to give journalists the tools they need, dispel common misconceptions and provide fresh angles to bring this fast-moving field to their readers and viewers.
● Amal KASRY, Chief of Basic Sciences & Engineering at UNESCO and a lead architect of the Global Quantum Initiative. Dr. Kasry is recognized as an international voice on the quantum divide, inclusive access, and the governance of emerging quantum technologies.
● Cécile PERRAULT, Vice President of the European Quantum Industry Consortium (QuIC) representing 160+ quantum companies. Dr. Perrault works at the intersection of industry and policy advising the European Commission on quantum strategy, alongside her quantum computing expertise as Director of Innovation & Partnerships at Alice & Bob.
