6G Research & Innovation Activities in Europe: An Overview of EU & Nationally funded Programmes
conference paper
The first 6G networks are expected to be deployed around 2030, and the relevant Research and Innovation (R&I) activities in Europe are well underway. Several 6G R&I funding programmes are ongoing, both on national level and pan-European, creating a complex ecosystem, which, however, offers significant collaboration opportunities. This paper provides an overview of major national 6G initiatives in EU member states. These major national initiatives, with budgets of hundreds of M€ are found in the Netherlands, Spain, Italy, France, Finland, and Germany. For each of these national initiatives information on budget, timing and structure is provided. The paper also presents an overview of the topics addressed in these national 6G initiatives. Additional 6G R&I activities in Europe are identified for the UK, Ireland, Norway, Belgium and Portugal, while an overview of the research topics addressed in the pan-EU collaborative projects of the SNS JU, is also provided
