The SNS JU Journal 2025 details a portfolio of 79 active research and innovation projects backed by approximately €500 million in EU funding, driving Europe’s strategic goal to lead in 6G technology while advancing 5G deployment. These initiatives are organized into three main calls, with Call 1 establishing foundational streams for energy-efficient radio networks and experimentation platforms, Call 2 focusing on revolutionary technologies and large-scale vertical trials in automotive and health, and Call 3 expanding wireless communication research and integrating microelectronics. The projects collectively target key performance indicators across diverse sectors including manufacturing, energy, and smart cities, aiming to validate sustainable, secure, and high-performance next-generation network infrastructures. Coordination and support actions further ensure stakeholder alignment, global trend analysis, and the embedding of societal values into the technological roadmap.
