Measuring societal value impact in 6G with KVIs
Tuesday, 6 June 2023, 14:00-15:30/16:00-17:30, Room J2
Organisers:
- Gustav Wikström (Ericsson Research & 6G-IA, SE)
Motivation and Background
There is a very high attention on technology developers to address outstanding societal challenges – notably sustainability – and demonstrate that 6G can have a positive impact. But measuring impact on societal challenges entails studying different values rather than technical performance, which calls for a new approach in R&D. For this purpose, Key Value Indicators have been proposed as a framework for quantifying and measuring impact on societal values. In this workshop the ideas behind KVIs will be discussed as well as how they can be applied in research projects. This view will be accompanied with views from academic researchers on how to work with societal values. The workshop will be wrapped up with a panel on the topic of how 6G development should be steered towards usages with a positive societal impact.
