The SNS Journal 2025 highlights the Smart Networks and Services Joint Undertaking’s progress with 79 funded projects totaling nearly €500 million, advancing Europe’s 6G ambitions while strengthening 5G infrastructure. The 2025 call for proposals allocates an additional €128 million to support research in critical areas such as higher Technology Readiness Levels, Connected Collaborative Computing (3Cs), and the integration of terrestrial and non-terrestrial networks. Key strategic focuses include the development of microelectronics like Front End Modules, AI-driven network intelligence, and enhanced international cooperation with the US under the Trade and Technology Council. These initiatives aim to solidify Europe’s digital leadership through sustainable, secure, and collaborative innovation across academia, industry, and the public sector.
