Abstract
The UN has proclaimed 2025 an international year to celebrate quantum science. Yanne Chembo and Joe Niemela, two of the physicists involved in the proposal, share the story of the approval process for this initiative. Yanne K. Chembo and Joe Niemela were part of the committee that put together the successful proposal for the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology. They recount their experience of the process and of working with the UN.
