The European Smart Networks and Services Joint Undertaking (SNS JU) is a Public-Private Partnership that aims to facilitate and develop industrial leadership in Europe in 5G and 6G networks and services. The SNS JU funds projects that shape a solid research and innovation (R&I) roadmap and deployment agenda by engaging a critical mass of European stakeholders and facilitating international cooperation on various 6G initiatives.
In January 2025, the third set of its 6G projects was launched, critical in establishing a solid European research and innovation (R&I) foundation, defining the next-generation networks.
We are now introducing the recently launched projects in two webinars, to give an overview of their activities and ambitions.
The first of these webinars is planned for Friday 14/02/2025 at 10:00 CET for two hours. This first webinar will present Stream B1 (System Architecture), B2 (Wireless Communication Technologies and Signal Processing), B3 (Communication Infrastructure Technologies and Devices) and B4 (Reliable Services and Smart Security) projects according to the agenda below.
