Innovation Manager

Since 2024, she has worked at the interface of quantum technology, European funding, and stakeholder engagement, supporting large-scale collaborative projects within the European quantum ecosystem. At AMIRES, she was project manager for Quantum Flagship Horizon Europe projects SPINUS (scalable solid-state quantum hardware) and Qu-Test (European federated quantum testbed). She has also been involved with proposal development within Horizon Europe and Chips JU for the creation of quantum pilot lines. Personally keen on culture, she also occasionally serves as an Expert Evaluator for the European Institute for Innovation and Technology Culture & Creativity KIC.

Previously, she was the Network Manager at the European Development Agency in Prague, where she led the outreach strategy and expanded European partnerships. In parallel, she co-developed EU grant applications across Erasmus+, Creative Europe, ESF+, COST Action, Horizon Europe, and other programmes. 2021-2023, she also administered the National Contact Point for Employment and Social Innovation for Czech Republic.

Outside of work, Stefania is acquiring two quintessentially Dutch skills: learning how to ride a bike and enjoying rainy days. She is passionate about arts, curious about architecture and urban design, and plant-based cooking. When she is not the Innovation Manager for Quantum Internet Alliance, she is managing the cooperation between homemade cheeseboards and cocktails.
