The SNS ICE project establishes a collaborative environment to position European 6G smart network activities globally, fostering consensus through dialogues with international partners and standardization bodies. It engages key vertical industries via dedicated associations to identify requirements and promote tailored 6G solutions, while organizing workshops at major events like Techritory and EuCNC to disseminate results. The initiative produces comprehensive reports on global trends, standardization roadmaps, and vertical sector needs to secure Europe’s leadership in 6G definition and exploitation. Additionally, the SNS OPS project supports the internal operations of the Smart Networks and Services Joint Undertaking, coordinating cross-project activities and managing governance to maximize the impact of research outcomes. Together, these actions aim to align European R&I priorities with global standards and facilitate the commercial adoption of 6G technologies across various sectors.
