What is your organisation’s role in the project? What unique contribution does it bring to the team?

Nova will lead the task aimed at identifying and defining a standardisation plan, to be able to smoothly convey the results of the project - especially in terms of KVIs and KPIs - into the “6G standardisation kick off” phase, planned by SNS for 2026. This activity will contribute to SNS JU objective of conceiving and developing a European value-based approach to 6G based on European KVIs and KPIs, and promote it through the 6G global standard-setting process. Nova will identify standardisation working groups (WGs) which the project will participate in, and contribute, therefore enabling experts’ judgement and knowledge acquisition on specific topics (e.g. trustworthy AI and assessment frameworks).

How do you think 6G4Society will contribute to European society?

The mission of 6G4Society is to involve key stakeholders from the Smart Networks and Services ecosystem, alongside representatives from civil society, regulatory bodies, policymakers, media outlets, and the general public, to ensure accurate and transparent dissemination of information regarding the anticipated effects of 6G technology. The project's objective is to offer a multifaceted and harmonious approach to upcoming technological advancements, integrating principles from ethics, law, social sciences, and humanities. Its goal is to furnish techniques, frameworks, directives, policy alternatives, and practical suggestions for cultivating a sustainable and widely embraced 6G technology and its applications. We believe that the project will ensure 6G and associate services will promote community inclusiveness, fairness, democracy, and will reduce discrimination.
