6G4Society & Hexa-X-II Webinar on Ensuring 6G Social Acceptance – 6 November 2024, 09:30-11:30 CET
Ensuring 6G Social Acceptance
Communication networks are the backbone of our connected society. Reliable, secure and inclusive connectivity is indispensable to access many essential services, and this is why a multistakeholder approach is at the centre of the way next generation Smart Networks and Services (SNS) are being designed and will be engineered and managed.
Several SNS JU projects are already working to ensure that societal, environmental and economic values are embedded by design into the development of 6G, bringing a sustainability and societal perspective to technological development. Two of these projects are Hexa-X-II and 6G4Society, who are organising a joint webinar.
This webinar has the twofold objective of:
- Reporting the work done so far by the 6G4Society and the Hexa-X-II SNS JU projects, specifically on how to integrate social acceptance into the development of 6G and how to ensure societal and environmental values are integrated by design.
- Animating discussions and gathering feedback within the SNS JU community and beyond on the main challenges and priorities to ensure 6G social acceptance.
