Pauliina Rajala

As Development Manager at InstituteQ, I lead strategic planning and operational coordination and community-building to support Finland’s national quantum technology initiative, a joint effort by Aalto University, VTT, University of Helsinki, CSC, University of Eastern Finland, University of Oulu, University of Jyväskylä, University of Turku and Tampere University.

I work at the intersection of strategy, science, and collaboration to strengthen the country's position in the quantum technology landscape.

I also serve as a point of contact within InstituteQ, fostering connections between researchers, institutions, and stakeholders nationally and internationally, and supporting the growth of emerging research areas in quantum science and technology.
