Prof. Christos Xenakis represented SAFE-6G at World Cybersecurity Summit 2024 in Cyprus. The event took place on 28 of March. This significant global event was be held in Cyprus, and was aimed at attracting the world’s elite gathering of leading cyber leaders and top technology companies for a one-day conference in Cyprus which addressed these most crucial technological challenges. Essentially, the event was designed to examine the next era of technology that will enable organizations to rethink cybersecurity and respond to new threats in the midst of breakneck global change.

The 2024 EuCNC & 6G Summit builds on putting together two successful conferences in the area of telecommunications: EuCNC (European Conference on Networks and Communications), supported by the European Commission, and the 6G Summit, 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 focuses on all aspects of telecommunications ranging from 5G deployment and mobile IoT to 6G exploration and future communications systems and networks, including experimentation and testbeds, and applications and services. It brings together cutting-edge research and world-renown industries and businesses, globally attracting in the last years more than 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.
The conference has a not-for-profit organisation, hence, registration fees are as low as possible and all surplus will be made available in grants. Best Papers and Booth Awards will be granted. Accepted and presented papers for regular sessions will be published in the Conference Proceedings and submitted to IEEE Xplore and other Abstracting and Indexing (A&I) databases.

Harilaos Koumaras, from NCSRD presented the fundamental elements of our project during the SNS Webinar – Introducing the Call 2 SNS projects which took place on March 7th. The European Smart Networks and Services Joint Undertaking (SNS JU) is a Public-Private Partnership that aims to facilitate and develop industrial leadership in Europe in 5G and 6G networks and services. The SNS JU funds projects that shape a solid research and innovation (R&I) roadmap and deployment agenda by engaging a critical mass of European stakeholders and facilitating international cooperation on various 6G initiatives.
In January 2024, the second phase of its 6G projects was launched, which is critical in establishing a solid research and innovation (R&I) foundation for Europe, defining the next-generation networks.

SAFE-6G project has been announced at the Hipeac platform.
HiPEAC (High Performance, Edge And Cloud computing) is the premier focal point for networking, dissemination, training, and collaboration activities in Europe for researchers, industry, and policy related to computing systems. Today, its network, the biggest of its kind in Europe, numbers over 2,000 specialists.
HiPEAC’s mission is to advance computer architecture and computing systems research and development as a discipline in Europe. Its objectives are to:
Secure and strengthen a leading position for Europe in computing systems that support all aspects of modern society by advancing computing systems as a discipline.
Prepare the next generation of world-class computing systems scientists and engineers in Europe by supporting their academic and professional development.
Build a dynamic ecosystem for the design and implementation of computing systems in Europe by bringing together European research, industry, SMEs, and policy.
Align research efforts in computing systems and strengthen research impact in Europe by identifying long-term challenges in computing systems and articulating their impact on modern society.

- Establish the 6G trustworthiness requirements considering the various risks of a human- centric 6G ecosystem (safety, security, privacy, resilience, reliability) in order to design, build and release a zero-touch holistic E2E cognitive trustworthiness framework for user-centric distributed 6G architectures over the (far) edge-cloud continuum, capable of enabling and supporting the deployment of trusted instances/slices of the user/human centric 6G system driven by the user’s intent and utilizing distributed AI/ML techniques across the entire ecosystem.
- Design, implementation and evaluation of a cognitive coordination framework of the distributed FL-driven (X)AI techniques that realise the level of trust (LoT) at each user-centric 6G System instance both for the USN and NSN planes across the edge-cloud continuum, together with an MLOps training framework that continuously assesses and optimises the distributed AI/ML models.
- Design and development of the five AI-assisted user-centric functions (safety, security, privacy, resilience and reliability) that altogether in a zero-trust approach and under cognitive coordination realize the native trustworthiness of a user-centric distributed 6G ecosystem. The functions will consider all the lifecycle phases of the USN and NSN functions, i.e. a) before service deployment, b) during service deployment (operation), c) after service deployment (decommitment), establishing an elastic and scalable trustworthiness regime.
- The cloud-native paradigm over the edge-cloud continuum will be followed for the whole design and development of the whole SAFE-6G framework components and the user-centric distributed 5G/6G core network over the edge cloud continuum. Moreover, compatibility with currently developing edge- cloud continuum MetaOS, such as the one of aerOS Horizon Europe project, will be pursued, reassuring interoperability, compatibility and sustainability of the proposed SAFE-6G framework in future deployments.
- Verifying and validating the proposed SAFE-6G framework using two Metaverse-based pilots, where the immersive-applications will be tested considering different 6G system setups, different service flavors and deployments, under various threats and attacks, setting different trust levels as defined by user-requirements, verifying a number of different AI/ML methods, as well as the cognitive coordinator performance.
- Maximization of impact and adoption of SAFE-6G results through wide dissemination, communication, capacity building, standardisation and exploitation measures, as well as successful demonstration of the proof-of-concept system to relevant stakeholders, including industry partners and regulatory bodies.

The 6G-IA, which is proud to have more than 110 SME members, is driving 6G research in Europe. Together with the European Commission, the 6G-IA is running the 6G Smart Networks and Services Joint Undertaking (SNS-JU). This major research program will invest at least 1.8 billion Euros over its eight-year timeframe and aims to bring technological leadership to Europe in the vital area of 6G. In the context of the SNS-JU and the previous 5G research program 5G-PPP, the 6G-IA has been active in trying to ensure a high SME participation. This has become a key goal of both partnerships because SMEs are recognized as the catalyst for innovation. Their ability for “out of the box” thinking and their agility to rapidly develop and test ideas in multiple sectors, have been important assets in the industrial digitization of the so-called vertical industries. Joining forces between SMEs and the key ICT companies has been one of the key factors driving the overall success of the 5G PPP programme.
