How to accelerate EU Funded Research results via Global Standards Activities
Thursday, 5 June 2025, 16:00 – 17:30, room 0.B
Session Chair:
- David Boswarthick (ETSI, )
- Colin Willcock (6G-IA, )
The success of the Smart Networks and Services (SNS) Joint Undertaking relies not only on the technical results of the projects but also on a strong valorisation of EU research in standardisation bodies. It is important for EU stakeholders to prepare for this crucial phase. Also new developments are happening in industry, like disaggregation and softwarisation of networks, the raising importance of cloud technology that may eventually have an influence on the standardisation process. Similarly, new topics like Artificial Intelligence are emerging as being highly prominent in 6G. Against this background, the purpose of this special session is to raise awareness of the standardisation directions, focus, priorities and challenges that the research community should take into account with the objective of preparing the widest possible EU industrial base to be in prime position for the upcoming 6G standardisation, and also to prepare for the next SNS phases which will have a strong standardisation component.
