The ETSI Research Conference took place on the 6th to 8th February 2023 in ETSI Headquarters, Sophia Antipolis, France.
This face-to-face event provided an exceptional opportunity for the research community to come together with industry representatives and standardization experts to discuss future technology research and links to standardization developments.
Maximizing the Impact of European 6G Research through Standardization
At the beginning of 2023, the Smart Networks and Services Joint Undertaking (SNS JU) launched the first phase of 5G / 6G research projects, many of which will play a crucial role in the definition of next generation networks. The ETSI Research Conference provided the perfect platform for these new projects to present their purpose and plans and exchange with the standards experts on their standardization roadmaps. More information about SNS JU projects is available here.
In addition, the ETSI Research Conference provided guidance to researchers on how to get involved in standardization, present success stories and examples of research being integrated into standards, as well as indications from the standards community as to where they would seek research input to help move next generation standardization forward.
The event enabled a fully interactive exchange between researchers, projects, industry and standards experts, with an overall objective of increasing visibility of European research initiatives and accelerating the journey from innovation / research, standards and on to global market deployments.
The event included poster sessions presenting several of the new SNS JU projects (see posters tab).
By attending the event:
the research community learnt about the latest European research projects, and the plans for future activities and funding as well as guidance on when, where and how to get involved in standardization the standards community learnt about the latest innovative technology research areas that may have an impact on their future work, as well as making early connections to projects of relevance to their work the wider ICT community learnt about latest research and technology developments and network with the researchers who will be at the leading edge of these innovations all attendees enjoyed an open and honest exchange, and the ability to network with experts leading the technology innovation for the next generation of networks
