The 6G4Society in-person workshop in Amsterdam on September 27, 2025, will explore the social implications of transitioning from 5G to 6G, focusing on maximizing benefits while minimizing risks through citizen engagement. The event features a presentation by Imme Ruarus on 5G social responses and utilizes the 6G4Society Citizen Survey to gather public insights on wireless technology experiences and future expectations. Key objectives include investigating public understanding of complex technologies, addressing misconceptions, and building relationships between stakeholders such as policymakers, industry leaders, and social movements. The session aims to align European sustainability initiatives like Horizon Europe with grassroots efforts to shape inclusive 6G narratives and deployment strategies.
