Webinar: 6G Visions, Challenges and Opportunities

We have had snapshots of what 6G might look like, but the work is ongoing and this webinar is a chance to catch up with the latest developments, both in the technical and regulatory fields.

6G: Visions, Challenges and Opportunities will be held on Wed 29 July, just after the publication of a series of collaborative white papers to help define the scope of the technology. It comes as the European Union considers how best it can support 6G.

A key theme is the THz bands: their technical possibilities and the regulatory approaches which will maximise their potential.

The speakers and topics are:

Opportunities and technical challenges for 6G in mmWave and THz
Professor Tommy Svensson, Chalmers University, Sweden
Higher speeds, improved security and a convergence with other applications such as sensing are all possibilities. Professor Svensson will give his vision of  what will a 6G network look like and how it will work.
 
Progress in defining the scope of 6G
Dr Marja Matinmikko-Blue, University of Oulu, Finland
Just before the webinar an important set of white papers will be published by 6G Flagship outlining key societal challenges, technical enablers and research questions for 6G. Dr Matinmikko-Blue will give an overview of the key themes, including e.g. linkage to UN SDGsThe 17 United Nations Sustainable Developm..., business aspects, spectrum for 6G, machine type communications and the use of AI.
