The 6G4Society project addresses the tension between 6G performance objectives and societal values by integrating ethics, legal, and social science methodologies into the Smart Networks and Services ecosystem. The initiative aims to develop a Technology Acceptance Model, a framework of Key Sustainability Indicators, and policy guidelines to ensure responsible research and innovation for future networks. Results will be validated through public engagement and collaboration with 6G-SNS JU projects to foster sustainable and socially accepted 6G applications. The consortium combines expertise in SSH, technology, and stakeholder engagement to guide the deployment of 6G infrastructure.
