Prof. Mauritz Kop Chairs CIGI Quantum Nexus Workshop and Roundtable on Quantum, Intellectual Property, and National Security
Prof. Mauritz Kop Chairs CIGI Quantum Nexus Workshop and Roundtable on Quantum, Intellectual Property, and National Security

On Wednesday, October 21, 2026, Prof. Mauritz Kop chairs the CIGI Quantum Nexus workshop in Waterloo: a public online expert panel from 12:00 to 1:00 PM Eastern Time, followed by a closed-door roundtable. As Senior Fellow and Principal Investigator at the Centre for International Governance Innovation, Kop leads the project The Quantum Nexus: A Framework for Canadian Strategic Advantage in a Contested Domain, funded through the Department of National Defence's MINDS program.

Five Panelists, a Senior Roundtable, and Six Emerging Scholars

The panel brings together John Sarrao (SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory), Michael Karanicolas (Dalhousie University), Tina Dekker, Michael P. A. Murphy (Queen's University), and Timo Minssen (University of Copenhagen), with CIGI's Tracey Forrest. The roundtable, held under the CIGI Rule, includes the Privy Council Office's Dominic Rochon, the Canadian Intellectual Property Office's Konstantinos Georgaras, former U.S. Assistant Secretary of Commerce Kevin J. Wolf, Michele Mosca, Larry Diamond, and Los Alamos physicist Alan J. Hurd. Six emerging scholars from universities across Canada, personally selected and mentored by Kop, join the day and will write analytical notes for the project's final CIGI report.

The LSI Test and Kop's Work With Canada Since 2022

The workshop builds on Kop's Nexus paper, indexed in the Harvard-Smithsonian NASA Astrophysics Data System, and its LSI test for security measures that are least trade-restrictive, security-sufficient, and innovation-preserving. It continues his work on the Council of Canadian Academies expert panel chaired by the late Raymond Laflamme, his CIGI policy brief with Tracey Forrest, and his War on the Rocks essays. Our article also traces CIGI's history, from its founding by BlackBerry's Jim Balsillie, with a founding gift from Mike Lazaridis, to its role among G7 think tanks. The public panel will be recorded, and registration for the online session is open to everyone on the CIGI event page.

Call for Applications: CIGI Quantum Nexus Emerging Scholars Program for Canadian Strategic Advantage
Call for Applications: CIGI Quantum Nexus Emerging Scholars Program for Canadian Strategic Advantage

The Centre for International Governance Innovation (CIGI) is accepting applications for a competitive emerging scholars program attached to The Quantum Nexus: A Framework for Canadian Strategic Advantage in a Contested Domain, a research project supported by the Department of National Defence's MINDS program and led by CIGI Senior Fellow Mauritz Kop. The deadline is July 15, 2026.

A mentorship cohort with a mission

Four to six emerging scholars from across Canada—undergraduates through post-docs, from any discipline—join a virtual program from September to December 2026. The format is deliberately personal: a one-on-one mentorship session with the Principal Investigator, an online international expert workshop in October, and a group masterclass on emerging-technology governance and publication development in November. No prior quantum expertise is required, and applications from equity-deserving groups are strongly encouraged; the program is built on the conviction that good governance of emerging technologies needs many kinds of minds. It is the same conviction that brought a Canadian quantum governance delegation to Stanford to prepare Canada's G7 presidency.

From analytical note to CIGI report

This is a publication program, not a lecture series. Every participant develops a 1,200–1,500-word analytical note on an assigned subtopic within one of six themes—spanning intellectual property and export controls, post-quantum cryptography migration, critical materials and supply chains, quantum-AI convergence, standards and allied interoperability, and the application of the LSI test (least trade-restrictive, security-sufficient, innovation-preserving) to a real case. The notes are contributed to the project's final CIGI report as a dedicated Emerging Scholars annex—a substantive contribution at the start of a research career.

Dates and deadlines

Applying takes one PDF: a 300–500-word expression of interest naming the theme you want to work on, a CV, and one reference letter, sent to programs@cigionline.org (subject line: Emerging Scholars Application: DND MINDS Project). Applications close July 15, 2026; acceptances follow in mid-August; the program runs September through December. For emerging scholars who want to help shape how the quantum age is governed, this is the opening.
