6th face-to-face Open6GHub Consortium Meeting @FAU
At the beginning of March, Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg hosted the 6th face-to-face Open6GHub Consortium meeting.
The meeting, which was organized by the Chair of Electrical Smart City Systems (ESCS, Prof. N. Franchi) together with the Institute of Microwaves and Photonics (LHFT, Prof. M. Vossiek) and the Institute for Electronics Engineering (LTE, Prof. R. Weigel), attracted more than 120 attendees.
The three-day meeting included impulse talks from leading researchers, a fishbowl discussion, a start-up forum, a workshop on the 6G experimental testbed, and multiple topical sessions. Guests were invited to visit FAU laboratories.
A visit to the JOSEPHS innovation laboratory and the Future Museum in Nuremberg was also on the agenda during the days. Here the guests had the opportunity to imagine the future. Finally, the Consortium meeting attendees were served dinner in a traditional Franconian restaurant in Nuremberg.
Open6GHub is a project that brings together 17 German research institutions to work on a wide range of 6G-relevant technologies from theoretical and practical perspectives. The German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) funds the projects with approximately 70 million euros. In the context of Open6GHub, ESCS focuses on 6G radio (Air Interface) and 6G sensing, Joint (Radio) Communications & Sensing (JCAS), and explores new architectures, methods, and protocols for 6G Industrial Radio and 6G campus networks.
