On June 1–2, ISTA hosted the first annual meeting for CIELO (Cavity-Integrated Electro-Optics: Measuring, Converting and Manipulating Microwaves with Light), a highly ambitious European Innovation Council (EIC)-funded project. Coordinated by ISTA under the guidance of Prof. @Johannes Fink and EPFL, the consortium brings together key European partners: KIT, TU Delft, SilOriX, IBM and Luxtelligence.  Together they aim to revolutionize quantum computing by developing electro-optic interconnects for scalable, modular quantum processors.

Managed and organized by the support of the Grant Office (Research Project Coordination), the two-day event brought partners together to review research progress across work packages and plan future milestones. Beyond the scientific sessions, the consortium enjoyed a hike through the Viennese vineyards, a traditional dinner at a local Heuriger, and a visit to the VISTA Science Experience Center.
