Following the recent useful chat on quantum technology, this report may be interesting.

https://ec.europa.eu/digital-single-market/en/news/report-need-integrate-social-sciences-and-humanities-science-and-engineering-horizon-2020

To quote the sales pitch:

“New technologies, such as those developed through funding from Horizon 2020, can only be successful if they are fit for market and society.  The dramatic scale and pace of technological developments offers tremendous potential, but with these opportunities come new dangers and new responsibilities. This implies that technological innovations need to pay close attention to the social contexts in which they are to be placed.  Moreover, many social innovations require technological development to be successful.  Thus, social and technical research need to go hand in hand.”

The report itself makes no mention of QT.

 

My own wrap-up of the sources that people threw into this list is here:
