In 2024 and 2025, the 6G-IA organized strategic consultation workshops on photonics, non-terrestrial networks (NTN), security, wireless, cloud services, and microelectronics to define future research priorities for the Smart Networks and Services Joint Undertaking. These sessions brought together industry, academic, and research experts to identify key innovation directions and formulate position papers that guide the SNS JU’s strategic roadmap. The resulting reports serve as foundational documents to stimulate discussions with the European Commission, related Horizon Europe entities, and the Strategic Research Agenda. By building on previous findings, these documents aim to align European 6G connectivity efforts with emerging technological needs and collaborative frameworks.
