The 6G IA has released a position paper advocating for an extended Smart Networks and Services Joint Undertaking (SNS-JU) under the FP10 Horizon Europe framework to sustain European R&D leadership. The document argues that a long-term perspective is essential to address key EU policy pillars, support the ICT domains highlighted in the Draghi report, and consolidate network strongholds. It proposes a structured program that builds on the proven success of the last 30 years by expanding the current JU model to maximize impact. The paper outlines specific activities and implementation strategies to ensure continued innovation in smart networks and services beyond the current timeline.
