About SNS ICE
SNS ICE (Smart Networks and Services International and European Cooperation Ecosystem) was a collaborative initiative aimed at fostering global engagement and cooperation in the preparation of 6G networks and services. The project successfully served as a platform for presenting, leveraging, and positioning SNS JU activities and achievements in major European and international forums.
Throughout its duration, SNS ICE:
- Established strategic dialogues at the European level among Horizon Europe Partnerships, national initiatives, and R&D clusters.
- Fostered international collaboration with key regions actively working on 6G development.
- Monitored and communicated key standardization activities and roadmaps.
- Engaged with vertical industries to promote SNS JU solutions and explore tailored 6G applications.
- Organized workshops and participated in major global events such as Techritory and EuCNC, ensuring widespread dissemination of SNS JU progress.
As the project concludes, this final event will highlight its main achievements and contributions to securing Europe’s leadership in 6G development.
