Message from the General Chair
Distinguished Guests, Esteemed Colleagues, Ladies and Gentlemen,
Let me welcome you to the 2025 EuCNC & 6G Summit in the vibrant city of Poznań, Poland. It is with great enthusiasm that we extend our warmest greetings on behalf of the Technical Programme and Organising Committee. This year, our motto “Towards the 6G World” reflects our dedication to aligning visionary technological advancements with a robust standardisation framework towards a global 6G vision. This theme highlights the critical transition from innovative concepts to global interoperable, deployable solutions, at the time when 6G standardisation works is just starting at the 3GPP.
We would like to express our sincere gratitude to our patrons and sponsors whose generous support has been instrumental in bringing this event to fruition. Your steadfast commitment to advancing telecommunications and 6G technologies is truly commendable.
Our heartfelt appreciation goes to all Chairs who have contributed across various roles including General, Local, Track, Special Sessions, Workshops, Tutorials, Panels, Patronage, Exhibition, and Publication. Your dedication and expertise have been essential in shaping a program that integrates the latest research with the EU priorities on AI, cybersecurity, and green digital transformation. Special thanks are also due to the organisers of special sessions, tutorial presenters, panelists, and workshop facilitators, whose efforts have enriched the quality and relevance of our content.
We are deeply grateful to the esteemed members of the Steering Committee for their guidance throughout the planning process, and to the Award Committee for recognising excellence and innovation within our community. Their collective contributions have elevated the success of this summit. Furthermore, we extend special thanks to the Poznan University and the Local Organising Committee, whose tireless work behind the scenes has been the backbone of our event’s smooth execution, and to all volunteers whose generous dedication exemplifies the spirit of collaboration that defines the EuCNC & 6G Summit.
As we embark on this journey together, we proudly unveil our Technical Programme designed to explore the forefront of telecommunications and the transformative potential of 6G. The program features a comprehensive range of sessions including keynotes, workshops, tutorials, special sessions, convened sessions, panels, poster sessions, and regular paper presentations across multiple tracks. The acceptance rate remains highly selective, ensuring the highest quality of contributions that foster collaboration among stakeholders and lay the foundation for impactful partnerships across Europe and beyond. This year’s summit also marks a historic milestone with a record number of submissions, demonstrating the vibrant research and innovation ecosystem driving Europe’s digital future.
The Smart Networks and Services Joint Undertaking (SNS JU), created under the Horizon Europe framework, remains at the forefront of this vibrant ecosystem, driving research, innovation, experimental platforms and large-scale trials that will shape the future of connectivity in alignment with European values. The current SNS JU portfolio of 79 projects, funded by approximately €500 million of EU funds, serve as a cornerstone for Europe’s ambition to lead in 6G technology development. The SNS JU serves as the key platform to align these European efforts, in view of Europe maintaining its influence in shaping the future of global 6G standards.
Once again, I would like to welcome you to the EuCNC & 6G Summit 2025. May this gathering serve as a catalyst for inspiration, knowledge exchange, and fruitful collaboration as we collectively advance to realize our digital future. We are looking forward to a thrilling 2025 EuCNC and 6G Summit!

Message from the Technical Programme Committee Co-Chairs
Dear Colleagues and Friends,
Welcome to the EUCNC & 6G Summit 2025, hosted in the vibrant and historically rich city of Poznań, Poland! On behalf of the Technical Programme Committee and Organizing Committee, it is with great pleasure that we extend our warmest greetings.
This year’s theme, “Towards the 6G World,” reflects our community’s commitment to pioneering next-generation technologies. It captures the spirit of innovation required at every stage: from theoretical foundations to demonstrators, many of which will be showcased during the conference, and finally to practical implementations and commercialization.
We also take a new approach to analyzing the emerging needs of commercial communication systems to provide 6G as an efficient, sustainable and resilient critical infrastructure system supporting the digitalised societies of the future depending on digital services requiring energy aware and self-healing mechanisms.
Poznań is a fitting location for this forward-looking event. It is the city where in 1933 three mathematicians from the Polish Cipher Bureau, Marian Rejewski, Jerzy Różycki, and Henryk Zygalski, successfully broke the Enigma code, an achievement commemorated by the IEEE Milestone Award in 2014. A sculpture honouring this momentous breakthrough stands just a few hundred meters from our conference venue. This historical legacy underscores the timely addition of our new track on “Security Aspects and Quantum Communications.” Additionally, the ever-growing role of Artificial Intelligence in our field is recognized in the dedicated track, “Artificial Intelligence for Communications.”
We are proud to unveil a robust and carefully curated Technical Program that delves into the most critical topics shaping the future of telecommunications and 6G. This year’s program features: 3 Keynotes, 18 Workshops, 4 Tutorials, 19 Special Sessions (including some transitioned from workshop submissions), 5 Convened Sessions, 4 Panels, 2 Poster Sessions, and 28 Regular Paper Sessions across 9 thematic tracks. With an acceptance rate of under 50%, the program reflects the high quality and rigor of submitted contributions.
Our mission is to foster meaningful collaboration among stakeholders, paving the way for transformative advances and impactful partnerships across Europe and beyond. We are especially proud to announce a record-breaking number of submissions for the 2025 edition: 287 regular papers, 38 workshops, 15 special sessions, 16 tutorials, and 84 posters. Let us seize this opportunity to propel innovation to new heights—together.
This event would not be possible without the generous support of our sponsors: European Commission, Nokia, Orange, ITRI, Keysight, TietoEvry, One6G, VDI, and Ericsson. We also extend our sincere thanks to our supporters and technical co-sponsors: the European Commission, 6G Flagship, IEEE ComSoc, EURASIP, COST, and EurAPP. Your commitment to advancing the telecommunications and 6G landscape is deeply appreciated.
We are profoundly grateful to all our Chairs—General, Local, Track, Special Sessions, Workshops, Tutorials, Panels, Patronage, Exhibition, and Publications—for your leadership and dedication. Special thanks also go to the organizers of special sessions, tutorial presenters, panelists, and workshop participants and organizers, whose efforts have enriched the quality and depth of our program.
We extend our sincere appreciation to the Steering Committee for their steadfast guidance and invaluable expertise throughout the planning process. Our gratitude also goes to the Award Committee for their thoughtful efforts in recognizing and celebrating excellence and commitment within our community.
A heartfelt thanks goes to the Local Organizing Committee for your tireless work behind the scenes—your efforts are the backbone of this event. Finally, we extend our sincere appreciation to all the volunteers who have generously contributed their time and energy. Your dedication embodies the collaborative spirit of the EUCNC & 6G Summit.
Once again, welcome to EUCNC & 6G Summit 2025. We hope this gathering inspires new ideas, fosters meaningful connections, and sets the stage for groundbreaking advancements.
With best regards,
