EuCNC & 6G Summit 2026

The 2026 EuCNC & 6G Summit builds on two successful conferences in the area of telecommunications: EuCNC, in its 35th edition of a series, supported by the European Commission, and the 6G Summit, in its 8th 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 1000 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.

The conference program will include:

Keynotes
Panels
Regular sessions (papers from open call, to be submitted for uploading to IEEE Xplore)
Special and Convened sessions, with papers on specific topics
Workshops, with papers and presentations on specific topics
Poster sessions
Tutorials
Demos and exhibitions, with pitches
Awards in several categories (paper, poster, booth, demo, startup, thesis)

SAFE-6G at Mobile Work Congress 2026

Prof. Xenakis represented our Project at MWC 2026. The discussions at MWC 2026 clearly confirmed that as we move towards the 6G era, security, privacy, and resilience must be integrated by design. Building trustworthy digital ecosystems requires strong collaboration among academia, industry, policymakers, and innovators.

The Mobile World Congress 2026, held from 2–5 March 2026 in Barcelona, is one of the world’s most influential events for the mobile and connectivity industry. It brings together technology companies, researchers, startups, investors, and policymakers to explore the latest developments in areas such as 5G-Advanced, artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and future 6G networks. With more than 2,900 exhibitors and over 100,000 participants from around the world, the event serves as a global platform for showcasing innovations, launching new devices, and fostering collaborations that shape the future of digital communication and connected technologies.

“AI-Driven Dynamic Network Slicing Optimization leveraging Temporal Graph Networks”

As 5th Generation (5G) and Beyond 5G (B5G) networks evolve, dynamic resource allocation and management is crucial for supporting the diversity of devices and the mixed data traffic types. Network slicing enables the logical segmentation of an infrastructure to meet specific Quality of Service (QoS) requirements posed by applications, but factors such as fluctuating traffic, user mobility, and cross-slice interference, pose challenges towards proactive resource allocation. Traditional methods struggle with these factors, leading to inefficiencies. Therefore, this paper explores the concept of an AI-driven network performance prediction and resource allocation framework using Temporal Graph Networks (TGNs). By integrating TGN with the NS-3 simulator, the work in the paper demonstrates an efficient approach to predict network throughput. The proposed solution advances spatiotemporal Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques enabling more accurate prediction of network performance and adaptive resource optimization, supporting dynamic network slicing.
