This online event is to inform potential participants about the SNS Project Call 2026 (SNS Call 6) and let applicants know about the funding opportunities within the R&I Work Programme 2026 of the Smart Networks and Services Joint Undertaking (SNS JU) and to assist those interested in submitting a proposal.
Potential proposers can find more details on the open SNS Calls and various Topics on the EU Funding and Tenders Portal .
Speakers from SNS JU, European Commission and 6G Smart Networks and Services Industry Association (6G-IA) will provide detailed insights into the Calls’ ambitions, focus, evaluation criteria and award processes. Attendees will have the opportunity to pose specific Call-related questions and present their organisation and interests for possible future collaborations.
This SNS JU Info day and Brokerage Event will be organised in two parts:
12:45 – 14:00 Lunch Break
To further assist stakeholders to form competitive proposal consortia, the SNS JU Brokerage Platform is also available. In this platform, any organisation can post its expertise or proposal ideas, and of course all can browse the information posted by other stakeholders.
