SNS JU publications from 2024 to 2026 document the transition of 6G from theoretical frameworks to validated real-world implementations, with a strong emphasis on eHealth, media and entertainment, and sustainability. Key achievements include the deployment of fifteen distinct eHealth use cases and the identification of 188 key innovations across 63 funded projects, ranging from AI-driven network management to advanced security architectures. The research portfolio highlights the development of open, programmable software frameworks and standardized APIs to enable intelligent, zero-touch orchestration of heterogeneous network slices. Furthermore, new methodologies for measuring Key Value Indicators and performance KPIs are being established to ensure 6G networks meet societal, economic, and environmental goals while maintaining high reliability and security.
