How do you think 6G4Society will contribute to European society?
6G4Society plays a pivotal role in reconciling the dual objectives of advancing 6G technology while embedding societal and sustainable values into its development. By engaging stakeholders across the Smart Networks and Services (SNS) ecosystem, as well as civil society, regulators, policymakers, media, and the public, the project aims to foster informed discussions about the anticipated impacts of 6G technology.
Utilising methodologies from ethics, legal studies, and social sciences, 6G4Society seeks to understand the socio-cultural aspects surrounding 6G and establish a foundation for responsible research and innovation. Through this, the project endeavours to shape a sustainable and socially accepted 6G landscape that prioritises both people and the planet.
