6G KVIS – SNS PROJECTS INITIAL SURVEY RESULTS 2025

The Test, Measurement, and Validation (TMV) Working Group (WG) of SNS JU focuses on developing and sharing related experiences and best practices for 6G networks testing, monitoring, and assessment from various perspectives. More specifically, besides its strong focus on 6G networks’ technical performance, the TMV-WG, through the KVIs sub-working group, aims to set the scene for 6G networks’ impact monitoring and validation from the emerging dimension of Key Value Indicators (KVIs). Within this context, the TMV WG aims to record, report, and promote state-of-the-art and new innovative methodologies for the monitoring and evaluation of the foreseen impact of the 6G networks on Key Values, as identified by SNS-JU projects.
This work leverages the methodology and previous work of 6G-IA on the definition of values and KVIs – which still progresses in the context of 6G-IA SNVC (Societal Needs and Value Creation Sub-Group) – addressing the dimension of evaluation of KVIs. To this end, various SNS JU projects provided the KVIs and information on how these can or will be evaluated in accordance with the use cases that are addressed. To align with the SNVC methodology, the main reported KVIs were classified into categories based on the impacted Key Values (KVs).The identified categories of KVs are: KV #1 – Environmental Sustainability, KV #2 – Societal Sustainability, KV #3 – Economic Sustainability & Innovation, KV #4 – Democracy, KV #5 – Cultural Connection, KV #6 – Knowledge, KV #7 – Privacy & Confidentiality, KV #8 – Simplified Life, KV#9 – Digital Inclusion, KV#10 – Personal Freedom, KV#11 – Personal Health & Protection from Harm and KV #12 – Trust. This categorisation utilised within the present whitepaper does not represent or stand for a final proposal of classification of the Key Values, rather, it is utilised as a point of reference for many of the research projects that participated in the questionnaires.

EuCNC & 6G Summit 2025

The 2025 EuCNC & 6G Summit builds on putting together two successful conferences in the area of telecommunications: EuCNC, in its 34th edition of a series, supported by the European Commission; the 6G Summit, in its 7h edition, originated from the 6G Flagship programme in Finland, one of the very first in its area. The conference is sponsored by the IEEE Communications Society (ComSoc), the European Association for Signal Processing (EURASIP) and the European Association on Antennas and Propagation (EurAAP) and supported by the European Commission. The conference addresses various aspects of Beyond 5G/6G communications systems and networks. It brings together cutting-edge research and world-renown industries and businesses, globally attracting in the last years close to 900 delegates from more than 40 countries all over the world, to present and discuss the latest results, and an exhibition with more than 50 exhibitors, for demonstrating the technology developed in the area, namely within research projects from EU R&I programmes.
