As one of the most eagerly awaited telecommunications events of the year, the EuCNC (3-6 June 2024) is an essential platform that gathers cutting-edge research and hosts discussions about the latest results in 5G deployment, mobile IoT, 6G exploration and future communications systems. At this year’s edition in Antwerp, 6G4Society will be co-organising a 1.5 hour long special session about building a sustainable and socially accepted 6G for society.
The main objectives of this special session are to:
Engage 6G stakeholders to actively participate in the conversation about societal and sustainability main challenges and priorities.
Present the work and activities of relevance undertaken by the three projects organising the session and others in the broader scene.
Gather input and feedback from the participants on the perception of 6G related to the topics of the environment, health, KVIs, etc.
Align on major relevant efforts at R&I, policy, regulatory levels.
As a basis for discussion, the session organisers are working on an Extended Abstract (2 pages), that will propose specific questions and items for animating the discussion. The ambition is to then extend it into a longer White Paper that will include the main learnings and insights from the special session and possibly contribute to strategic roadmapping and recommendations for future investments.
Besides one invited speaker, Dr Ilias Iakovidis from DG CONNECT, who is coordinating the work related to the European Green Digital Coalition, the Project Officer of the 6G4Society project will also participate in the session bringing the input of the 6G SNS JU into the debates.
