SUMMARY:The 6G4Society project: A conversation with the Dutch FNS 6G Ethics Board
DESCRIPTION:Overview\nIn the mid-1990s\, the Future and Emerging Technologies (FET) programme launched i3 – Intelligent Information Interfaces\, also known as The Disappearing Computer. This visionary initiative brought together engineers\, ethnographers\, designers\, artists\, computer scientists\, and philosophers to explore real-world use cases in schools\, offices\, and hospitals. \nUnfortunately\, the programme was discontinued. Human-centered exploration fragmented into UX\, usability\, and Human-Computer Interaction (HCI)\, while technical development followed a separate trajectory—focusing on situated and autonomous computing. This division\, in hindsight\, proved detrimental: \n\nFrom the technical side\, human interaction became an afterthought.\nFrom the HCI perspective\, technical frameworks were accepted as fixed and retrofitted into user contexts.\n\nToday\, we have an opportunity to reunite these paths\, to create connectivity grounded in ethical design and social inclusion. \nWhy 6G?\n6G networks promise higher speeds\, lower latency\, and the capacity to connect many more devices than 5G. These features not only enhance performance and reliability but also create opportunities for: \n\nIncreased energy efficiency\nGreater sustainability\nStronger digital inclusion\nA more resilient\, human-centric digital society\n\nAlthough 6G is expected to be deployed around 2030\, groundwork is already underway\, and the ethics of connectivity must be part of the design process from the start. \nWebinar objectives\n\nPresent 6G as more than just a technical advancement\, but a catalyst for transformative connectivity\nSpark a broad\, cross-disciplinary discussion around the question: What kind of connectivity do we want?\nIntroduce the work of the Dutch 6G Ethics Board and the Future Network Services (FNS) ecosystem\nExplore Key Value Indicators (KVIs) as tools for ethical\, meaningful innovation beyond commercial KPIs\n\nTarget stakeholders\n\nRegional and national regulators\, legislators\, and policy makers\nTelecom companies working on 5G/6G implementation and use cases\nEthnographers\, sociologists\, philosophers\, and others exploring the social impact of tech\nAnyone interested in the emerging triangle of value: IoT\, AI\, and 6G\n\nSession focus\nWe are in a critical five-year window to embed ethics as a core component – not an afterthought – in technical frameworks. Through this discussion\, we aim to: \n\nAlign sustainability\, European values\, and societal impact with network design\nDevelop intuitive\, inclusive digital experiences\nProvide an actionable ethics toolbox for innovators and policymakers\n\nAnticipated outcomes\n\nDeepen our understanding of the ethical and social dimensions of next-generation technologies\nDevelop a shared language to move beyond hype or fear toward meaningful debate\nIntroduce Key Value Indicators (KVIs) as tools for building purpose-driven use cases\nHighlight how European programmes are scaling up ethical innovation in the 6G space\n\nAgenda\nOpening (10 min) \n\nWelcome\, introduction and brief overview of the 6G4Society project by Monique Calisti – Founder and President of Digital for Planet\, CEO of Martel Innovate\, and Project Coordinator of 6G4Society\nLinkedIn\n\nFeatured Contributions (35 min) \n\nAaron van Diepen – TU Delft\, FNS Ethics Board\nProfile\nKatrina Petersen – Senior Research Consultant\, Societal Value at Public Safety Communication Europe (PSCE)\, 6G4Society Project\nLinkedIn\nRepresentative from the FNS 6G Ethics Board\n\nModerated Q&A (10 min) \n\nLed by Rob van Kranenburg – Senior Policy and Communication Expert at Martel Innovate\nLinkedIn\n\nClosing Remarks (5 min) \n\nAnna Aseeva – Policy and Sustainability Expert at Digital for Planet\nLinkedIn\n\n  \nRegister Now!

SUMMARY:Understanding and Addressing 6G Controversies: Learning from the Past\, Building for the Future - 6G4Society Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Date & Time\n26 March 2025\, 11:00-12:15 CET \n\n\nAbout the webinar\nThis webinar is part of the 6G4Society project\, an SNS JU initiative dedicated to embedding societal and sustainable values into the development of 6G technology. 6G4Society brings a sociological perspective to technological development\, ensuring that future networks align with ethical\, inclusive\, and sustainable principles. By fostering a deeper understanding of public acceptance\, stakeholder concerns\, and the broader societal impacts of 6G\, the project aims to generate transformative discussions and informed decision-making. \nUnderstanding controversies is a critical step in promoting social acceptance. When a new technological system like 6G is introduced\, it does not emerge in a vacuum. Instead\, it reshapes existing structures\, creating both opportunities and challenges for different stakeholders. Identifying and analyzing controversies—examining stakeholder perspectives\, competing claims\, and underlying tensions—is fundamental to fostering trust\, mitigating conflict\, and ensuring a more inclusive and sustainable adoption of 6G. \nControversies are not simply obstacles; they are part of society’s negotiation process over technological change. They reflect broader discussions about governance\, power\, values\, and risk distribution. Engaging with these disputes allows us to anticipate concerns\, address misinformation\, and develop frameworks for a more responsible and widely accepted 6G deployment. \nThis webinar will explore: \n\nWhat we can learn from past controversies\, particularly surrounding 5G\, and how they might evolve with 6G;\nHow technological disputes arise and what role values\, economic interests\, and governance structures play;\nHow stakeholders can engage more effectively with the public to foster trust and transparency;\nHow controversy analysis can contribute to the development of an EU consensus framework for a sustainable and ethical 6G.\n\nBringing together expertise from Science and Technology Studies (STS) and the sociohistory of ICTs\, our panelists will provide insights into the patterns\, dynamics\, and governance of technology controversies and offer strategies for navigating them in 6G development. \nKey Speaker\n\nDr. Ana Delicado – Senior Research Fellow at the Institute of Social Sciences (ICS)\, University of Lisbon. Dr. Delicado specializes in the social dimensions of science and technology\, with a strong focus on public perception\, communication\, and participation in technological decision-making. Her work explores how controversies arise in emerging technologies and how public engagement can contribute to more inclusive and responsible innovation. In this webinar\, she will examine the role of scientific and technological controversies in shaping public trust\, policy and acceptance\, highlighting key lessons for 6G.\n\nAgenda\n\nOpening and introduction\nIntroduction to 6G4Society\nThe role of scientific and technological controversies in shaping public trust and policy: key lessons for 6G\nHistory and impact of telecommunications infrastructure: historical patterns and a perspective on the future.\nDebate and exchange on presentations\nQ&A and engagement of participants\n\nTarget Audience\n\nResearchers and professionals in ICT and telecommunications\nSNS-JU projects interested in social acceptance and regulatory challenges\nPolicymakers and regulatory bodies working on future connectivity standards\nSocial scientists and scholars in Science\, Technology & Society (STS)\n\n\n  \nSign up for the webinar here!

SUMMARY:Objective and Subjective Approaches to Key Value Indicators - Sharing methodological approaches and evaluation instruments - 6G4Society & TrialsNet Workshop
DESCRIPTION:What\nWorkshop based in two parts. The first half is presentations from SNS JU projects and external experts. The second half is based on interactive dialogue and active contributions from participants.\n \nWho\nSNS JU Projects working on KVIs \nDate & Time\n6 February 2025\, 10:00-12:20 CET \n\n\nIntroduction\nAs KVIs become further developed and integrated as key components of SNS JU projects\, challenges have emerged around how to identify what is a good measure of a KV\, and how these can look different for subjective and objective evaluations. Key to this is understanding how these approaches and instruments can be different from KPIs and what other methodological resources can be drawn upon in their development. The aim of this workshop is twofold. First\, it will share different approaches being developed in SNS JU projects as well as approaches used by external experts who also pursue indicators of social and sustainability values. Second\, it will break the participants into small groups to work together to explore how what was presented can inform their diverse projects. The idea is to blend expert knowledge with interactive dialogues between SNS projects that are actively working on KVIs. \nObjectives\n\nGather examples of how social and sustainability values can be assessed and evaluated from projects and external experts.\nExplore approaches that look beyond technical KPIs and consider non-technical evaluations of value.\nImprove our understanding and capacity to address these value outcomes in practical terms\, using existing resources.\n\nAgenda\n\nIntroduction\nPart 1 (1h35min): Exploration of subjective and objective approaches to social value that expand the repertoire and skills of projects applying KVIs\, focusing on areas in which projects have expressed challenges.\n30 min: Practical examples of subjective and objective KVIs for social and sustainability values from the SNS projects\, TRIALSNET\, ORIGAMI\, DETERMINISTIC-6G\, FIDAL.\n50 min: Two approaches to identifying and applying social value indicators from External Experts in the field.\n\nYulia Romaschenko\, Technical Director\, Social Value international\nEmad Yaghmaei\, Senior Researcher at TU Delft & Founder\, & Rie Larsen\, Researcher and Strategic Advisor\, YAGHMA\n\n\n15 Min: Q&A\n\n  \n\nPart 2 (45 minutes): Interactive activity that builds on what was presented and explores how these can become useful in projects.\n25 min: MIRO-based hands-on small group activity to engage themes and processes presented in the part 1 to develop concept maps that chart rationale between value for investigation\, research question that drives the indicator\, and results that can be gathered. Participants will be allocated to small breakout groups with a moderator who will guide the activity based on group dynamics and discussions.\n20 min: Q&A\, with guest expert in social value analysis and indicators\, Tim Goodspeed\, to ask questions and help prompt\, push\, confirm and challenge our ideas.\n\n25 min: MIRO-based hands-on small group activity to engage themes and processes presented in the part 1 to develop concept maps that chart rationale between value for investigation\, research question that drives the indicator\, and results that can be gathered.

SUMMARY:UK’s 6G Achievements and Experimental Platforms
DESCRIPTION:First webinar of the SNS CSA CO-OP Series organised by the 6G-IA\nABOUT\nThe Smart Networks and Services Joint Undertaking (SNS JU) is at the forefront of driving innovation in next-generation communication technologies and services across Europe. At the same time\, various national initiatives in Europe are actively advancing 6G technologies and smart services. The SNS JU plays a pivotal role in fostering collaboration between these national initiatives and SNS projects by facilitating the exchange of best practices\, research findings\, and results. \nAs highlighted in the recently published SNS R&I Work Programme 2025 (SNS WP 2025)\, the SNS JU actively encourages the integration of results and experimental platforms from national initiatives into its calls. This approach ensures that Europe remains competitive in the global technology race by effectively pooling expertise and resources across national and EU levels. Furthermore\, it supports the EU’s strategic goals of digital sovereignty and technological independence by fostering a cohesive and collaborative research and innovation ecosystem. \nIn alignment with these goals\, and as part of the SNS CSA CO-OP project\, 6G-IA is organizing a series of webinars where various national initiatives will showcase their key achievements and share information about their experimental platforms. The first webinar in this series is scheduled to take place on 24 January 2025\, from 11:00 to 12:30 CET\, featuring an in-depth presentation of the UK’s 6G R&I activities and platforms.

SUMMARY:6G Forum
DESCRIPTION:Is it too early to be talking about 6G? The telco industry seems divided into two camps: those investing heavily in 6G R&D\, advocating for a more energy-efficient\, life-enhancing next generation of networks\, and those skeptical about the actual benefits and ROI of 6G\, especially as the industry still seeks to monetize 5G investments. \nBeyond the technological challenges\, commercializing 6G and convincing carriers to invest in this new technology present significant hurdles. RCR Wireless News’ virtual 6G Forum will address not only the question of “how do we do it?” but also “why do we need it?” \n\nJoin the event live on October 1st to join a variety of panel discussions\, presentations and interviews.
