SNS CO-OP Questionnaire Webinar - SNS JU programme KPIs for 2025
2026-05-18 14:00 - 15:00 (Europe/Berlin) | Online
Event Description:
The Smart Networks and Services Joint Undertaking (SNS JU) currently has 79 ongoing projects that are collectively contributing to the many Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) that allow us to monitor the progress of the SNS JU as a whole. In total, these Projects take both evolutionary and revolutionary approaches towards the research and development of novel technologies, functionalities and ecosystems that will enable the transition towards 6G networks by 2030 and this can be assessed by asking the projects to report on their individual achievements in terms of the program KPIs. .
The SNS CO-OP Coordination & Support Action project, tasked with supporting the projects’ work and promoting the key messages of the SNS Joint Undertaking, have conducted an extensive survey via an online questionnaire during the first semester of 2026 to obtain additional progress information about each project’s technical aspects, vision, approach and achievements.
The goal of this survey was to better understand the work planned and the progress achieved so far by the projects.
This webinar presents the results of the Questionnaire 2026 in terms of the progress achieved on the SNS JU KPIs during 2025.
