SCOPE AND MOTIVATION
The work for 6G Networks and Services has started and multiple activities are taking place at global level. Both evolutionary (from B5G networks onwards) and revolutionary approaches are followed to develop, test and validate innovative technological enablers that will enable the future networks vision at global scale. Some of the aspects investigated by different stakeholders address system architecture, wireless communication technologies and signal processing, communication infrastructure technologies and devices and secure service development.

Besides the technological aspects and technical innovations expected, 6G networks are also designed bearing in mind the key societal challenges that they must address including environmental, economic and societal sustainability and technological sovereignty. A wholistic system design approach has become necessary, addressing both technical and societal aspects and taking into account the complexities of the extended ICT infrastructure and services ecosystem (from vendors and operators, to service providers and individual users).

Within this global movement, Europe is attempting to take a leading role towards the creation of a hopefully single 6G global standard, both on a National level as well as on an EU-level. Some of the EU efforts in this sector can be reflected by the establishment of the Smart Networks and Services Joint Undertaking (SNS JU) as a legal and funding entity, as well as by the creation of several National Initiatives (NI) on a member-state level, through the funding of multi-million euro flagship projects, targeting technology development, fostering national innovation and maximization of business impact.

The SNS-JU targets a reinforced European leadership in the field of next generation network technologies (6G), connected devices and services, while accelerating European digital industry uptake and digitisation of economy and society. To that end, a first set of 35 Research and Innovation (R&I) projects have already been funded and started their operations, while multiple additional projects will be funded until the end of the SNS-JU program (2030) reaching a total of 1.8 Billion funding from the public and private EU sectors combined. Additional EU partnerships and associations addressing micro-electronics, AI and Robotics, photonics, high-performance computing and more, are working in collaboration with the SNS-JU and the NIs, covering all aspects of the necessary technology development for future 6G networks in a wholistic approach.

The goal of this symposium is to present the current advances and approaches to reach 6G and Future Networks vision in Europe and its respective R&I ecosystem, as well as the steps that have been taken to address different enabling technologies / technical enablers and the respective societal challenges. Moreover, the approach towards system-oriented R&I and dedicated prototyping and experimentation will be presented, complementing long-term R&I on disruptive concepts, considering also existing and future collaborations with other regions of the world.

TOPICS OF INTEREST
We invite original, high-quality research papers that address the aforementioned aspects for beyond 5G and 6G communication networks. The symposium aims to bring together researchers, practitioners, and industry experts to exchange ideas, discuss challenges, and propose solutions for the next-generation design of 6G networks.

We invite submissions on a wide range of research topics, spanning both theoretical and systems research, including results from industry and academic/industrial collaborations, related but not restricted to the following topics, presenting the actual work and future trends in the research and innovation on 6G in Europe:

Research for revolutionary technology advancements, in preparation for 6G and revolutionary advancements of IoT, devices and software.
Enablers and Proof of Concepts (PoCs) used to further develop, federate and consolidate experimental infrastructure(s), focusing on energy efficient technologies for 6G and open to integrate microelectronics developments coming from other programmes.
Large-scale Trials and Pilots with Verticals, including the required infrastructure. The aim is to explore and demonstrate technologies and advanced applications and services for the vertical domains, as well as the necessary architecture and technological enablers required for large experimentation facilities.
Relevant approaches to deal with societal challenges such as sustainability, energy efficiency, etc. across verticals, validating the exploitation of 6G across different vertical sectors, and its dual approach towards sustainability (6G for sustainability & sustainable 6G).
Collaboration approaches with other region on the world, cross-border testbed and experimentation initiatives/facilities.

R&I Goals and Opportunities for Micro-Electronics in 6G Networks
2022-12-15 10:00 - 11:15 | Online
The 6G-IA, together with AENEAS, organised a open webinar on :
R&I Goals and Opportunities for Micro-Electronics in 6G Networks
On Thursday 15 December 2022 at 10:00 CET
The purpose of the webinar was to summarise the European policies and goals for Micro-Electronics in 6G Networks and to discuss the related 2023 calls for projects in this area in both the KDT JU and the SNS JU programmes.waw
Background
The current race towards the definition of 6G systems has already started and is the subject of vibrant competition from Europe’s main competitors, notably the US, China, Japan and South Korea. Microelectronics is becoming a key issue for competitive solutions provided by European vendors and suppliers and microelectronics companies worldwide are also expected to play an important role in the 6G standardisation activities – which should start around 2025. It is hence important to have a critical mass of microelectronic actors well prepared to contribute to the standardisation process, especially for the lower radio layers where the bulk of essential patents for standards implementation are usually located.
The European Chips Act, adopted by the Commission in early 2022 aims to enhance Europe’s competitiveness and resilience in semiconductor technologies and applications and help achieve both the digital and green transition. One of its objectives is to help Europe reach leadership in chips for digital connectivity infrastructures. Europe has a leading position in the global connectivity infrastructure market, while at the same time has strong dependencies on chipset vendors from outside the European Union.
In this context, and with the clear aim of reinforcing European strength in microelectronics and connectivity, the KDT and SNS JUs are both launching focus topics as complementary activities in their respective Work Programmes.

Q&A

"NativeNI - The 1st International Workshop on Native Network Intelligence"
2022-12-09 09:00 - 17:00
In recent years we witnessed a growing interest towards leveraging Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools to innovate network operations at all layers, domains and planes. Yet, if, what and where we need to integrate intelligence in networks and how to (re)design networks for the native support of AI is still largely under debate. This is due to the multi-faceted nature of the challenges behind such integration: on the one hand, network architectures must be updated to accommodate AI models and their lifecycle by design (e.g., collecting and provisioning data in real-time, balancing centralized versus distributed computing approaches, empowering low latency requirements for fast closed-loop decision-making and network function automation); on the other hand, the design of AI models shall improve to better align with the myriad of requirements of production network systems (e.g., inference latency, computational complexity, trustworthiness of AI decisions); finally, operational procedures in research must be enhanced for verifiabilty, reproducibility and real-world deployment (e.g., establishing reference datasets, sharing trained models without sacrificing models explainability, robustness or safety).
The NativeNI – The 1st International Workshop on Native Network Intelligence, co-located with ACM CoNEXT 2022, held in Rome, Italy on December 9, 2022, will provide you with pragmatic answers to all these points are paramount to enable a transition of the current large body of literature on AI for networking from academic exercises to solutions integrated in production systems.
