What is 6G4Society about?
How do you see sustainability shaping the development and the deployment of 6G?
In 6G4Society’s first interview, Project Coordinator Monique Calisti talks about what the project is aiming to achieve and what it will focus on over the next two years. She also explains the role sustainability will play in shaping the development and the deployment of 6G.
What is the green digital transition? What role does sutainability play into the devlopment of 6G? Why is the acceptance of technology important?
These are a few of the questions we address in the 6G4S Talks. Check out these interviews with experts to dive deeper into topics that bring a sociological perspective to technological development.
What does it take to ensure that 6G technology is accepted, trusted, and valued by society? How can projects integrate societal and environmental values by design? On 6 November 2024, Hexa-X-II and 6G4Society, two European Smart Networks and Services Joint Undertaking (SNS JU) projects, co-hosted a webinar where experts from both projects shared insights on building societal acceptance for 6G.
How can 6G technology drive societal, environmental, and economic sustainability? On 21 November 2024, the SNS JU 6G4Society project and FIDAL hosted a workshop to explore how Key Value Indicators (KVIs) are shaping a sustainable 6G future. Experts shared insights on defining, implementing, and using KVIs, addressing challenges, best practices, and expected outcomes. Watch the recording to discover how SNS JU projects are developing tools and frameworks for a connected, inclusive, and sustainable future.
As 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.

Chiara Mazzone discusses the importance of making 6G technology sustainable by integrating environmental and energy efficiency considerations throughout the technology's lifecycle in the SNS JU's research and innovation projects.
What do we mean by “green digital transition”? How can the green digital transition and 6G help the three dimensions of sustainability? Ilias Iakovidis, Adviser of Digital aspects of green transition at DG CONNECT, European Commission delves into the three dimensions of sustainability, the nexus between the green and the digital transitions and explore how the next generation of connectivity can play a role in achieving sustainability goals with several concrete examples.
Marja Matinmikko-Blue emphasizes the need to integrate economic, social, and environmental principles from the start of 6G development, and delves into how it can align with the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
Katrina Petersen, Senior Research Consultant, Societal Value, Public Safety Communication Europe (PSCE), explores the concept of Key Value Indicators (KVIs), explaining how they can help us map where we can have impact, create a frame for value assessment and guide us in what we can create for value-driven innovation. Furthermore, she delves into how SNS JU projects can use them as a framework to measure their impact as well as a point of reflection on why measure these specifically.
Margot Bezzi from CyberEthics Lab. breaks down these crucial distinctions, explaining why social acceptance plays a key role in technological advancements. She also explains how 6G4Society is exploring these concepts, why this work is important and what outputs we are hoping to achieve in our project.
