\newt{The ICTQT is a newly founded research institute in the strongly emergent Poland. The university of Gdansk, host of the institute, has a long prominent track record on quantum information theory, with the core of entanglement theory itself having been developed there. Sainz's newly founded Foundational Underpinnings of Quantum Technologies group, strives at contributing to and complementing the existing team in Gdansk, by bringing in the new scope of process theories to tackle foundational and applied questions about quantum theory. Oxford site head Coecke was involved in establishing Sainz's new team at Gdansk's new ICTQT institute, as a member of the institutes' International Scientific Committee. With this project we involve this new institute, and Sainz's team in particular, within an established research community. The particular scope of this research proposal perfectly aligns with part of the mission statement of Sainz's team, which comprises the study of process theories, since ZX-calculus is the Swiss army knife of process theories, bringing process theory in direct contact with quantum technology. More generally, the experienced project partners will adopt a mentoring role towards this newly formed ICTQT group.}
