Dr. Susan Rea, Director of the Nimbus Research Centre at Munster Technological University, will present at the WiTaR Lunch Salon #4 on the inTRUSTED project, which explores building trust in 6G-era digital ecosystems through artistic intelligence and public engagement. The discussion highlights that while technical security is essential, true trust requires transparency, shared values, and inclusive participation from diverse communities in the development of future networks. Rea’s research focuses on the governance of resilient, distributed infrastructure and the socio-technical dimensions of digital trust, integrating human-centered design with advanced networking technologies. This session aligns with the WiTaR Working Group’s mission to close gender gaps and empower women in the 6G research community by fostering an inclusive environment for next-generation leaders.
